2 May, 2008 was a black letter day for Myanmar as the raging Cyclone Nargis struck the country, leaving a trail of unimaginable devastation. Almost 150,000 dwellers died and that is only a mere estimation. Homes were destroyed, lives were wrecked but most importantly for the already food deprived people, their crops were badly affected. The people of military-ruled Myanmar are feeling the pinch much harder than before and with the advent of the catastrophe, what little food source left has risen astoundingly high in price. Fortunately the United Nations World Food Programme has stepped in to offer much needed aid in the form of rice rations but it is hoped that the junta will relent and cooperate so that more foreign NGOs can enter the country and offer assistance to the victims.
