On 3 May 2008, an estimated 100,000 people were killed and thousands more left homeless when cyclone Nargis devastated Myanmar's Irrawaddy delta. With the military junta blocking most of the foreign aid, survivors of the cyclone are now in danger of contracting diseases, hunger, and more deaths.

The refusal of the Government of Myanmar to accept help from the international community at the expense of its people is a humanitarian concern. If you want to make your voice heard, you may sign an online petition by clicking on the link below:
