[Lajawab]

I don’t know if this being discussed any other place…I am very surprised if it hasn’t already…

This catastrophe is not getting media coverage at all…The cyclone was named Nargis…

It’s very sad. However, the death toll has NOT reached 100K yet.

The death toll fro m the cyclone that ravaged the Irrawaddy delta in Myanmar may exceed 100,000, the senior U.S. diplomat in the military-ruled country said Wednesday.

“The information we are receiving indicates over 100,000 deaths,” said the U.S. charge d’affaires in Yangon, Shari Villarosa.
The U.S. figure is almost five times the 22,000 the Myanmar government has estimated.

The U.S. estimate is based on data from an international non-governmental organization, Villarosa said without naming the group. She called the situation in Myanmar “more and more horrendous.”
