Excerpt

The death toll from the cyclone that ravaged Myanmar (Burma) is expected to reach 10,000, a top official said Monday, with at least 4,000 people already listed as killed and nearly 3,000 others unaccounted for.

Comment:

Hundreds of thousands are also homeless. This is severe devastation, as in some regions 95% of the houses have been destroyed.

What a shame all the way around. The Myanmar military regime is too paranoid/ego-centric to allow outside help.

My great grandfather worked in Burma as a professor for quite some time when it was a better place - it's also the birth country of my grandfather.

Omg, it just gets worse!

At least 22,000 dead, 41,000 missing, 1 million homeless in Myanmar
