Death May Exceed 100,000
Just two days ago I was reading that the death toll from Cyclone Nargis in Burma was 10,000. According to The Nation, a US diplomat said today that it may have killed more than 100,000 people.
It's quite scary how fast the number may jump in just a matter of days. This tragedy reminds me of the Tsunami back in 2004. Although it's sad to think that there is more difficulty in getting aid workers into Burma because of the military junta's lack of support in facilitating international aid.
