Up to 1 million homeless after killer cyclone devastates Myanmar. Survivors in south Asian nation, also known as Burma, need food, safe drinking water and personal care kits.


(Updated Saturday, June 7, 2008)

Cyclone Nargis killed 78,000 people and left another 56,000 missing. Damaged to the impoverished, isolated country is estimated to be nearly $11 billion.

The devastating storm has affected over 5 million people, and though the United Nations reports that local and international aid groups have provided assistance to nearly 1.3 million survivors, another 2.5 million are still in need of aid in the form of food, medicine and shelter.

Feed The Children is working to move pre-positioned emergency food from its international offices in neighboring Thailand to reach those displaced and devastated by the cyclone in Myanmar (Burma). Feed The Children’s program staff in Thailand has developed strong relationships with Burmese partners and is leveraging these relationships to help expedite the delivery of aid to the Burmese people.

Feed The Children is also reaching out to cyclone victims who have crossed the border into Thailand.

Those who managed to survive the storm are still at risk, due to lack of food, clean water, and medical supplies.  Food, construction materials, plastic tarpaulins, mosquito nets, water purifying tablets and medication to prevent outbreaks of cholera and malaria are badly needed.

Feed The Children is closely monitoring conditions with UN agencies to assess needs and to expedite the delivery of aid into the country.
