I'm sure that many of you've heard about the news- Cyclone Nargis Hit Myanmar on 3rd of May 2008! It was a massive destruction & devastation in Myanmar & in Asia since 2006!

According to the various news:

[A severe tropical cyclone with winds of up to 240km per hour has hit Myanmar, cutting off electricity supplies in the city of Yangon and raising fears of serious casualties. Roofs were reportedly torn off buildings and trees blown over on Saturday, but details were difficult to come by as telephone and internet connections were affected.] Source: Al Jazeera.net

[The most recent death toll estimate, which comes from a neutral international relief organization and not the junta government in Burma, is hovering near 100,000, more than five times the official government estimate.

"[The] most urgent need is food and water," said Andrew Kirkwood, the director of the Save the Children program in Yangon, Burma. "Many people are getting sick. The whole place is under salt water and there is nothing to drink. They can't use tablets to purify salt water," said Kirkwood to reporters.

Estimates put the number of people left homeless by Cyclone Nargis at about one million.] Souce: Buzzle.com

[The cyclone damage in Myanmar will further tighten rice supplies, especially in Asia,'' Takaki Shigemoto, an analyst at Tokyo-based commodity broker Okachi & Co., said today by phone.

This may drive importers to rush for supplies as the cyclone has made the rice exporter rely on food aid.'' Cyclone Nargis struck the main rice-growing area of Myanmar on May 3, worsening a global food crisis that has stoked protests from the Philippines to Haiti and sent prices to a record this year. The Philippines, the world's biggest rice importer, will seek shipments ``aggressively'' as global supplies tighten, Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap said.] Souce: Bloomberg.com
