AID TO BURMA....WHERE TO CALL AND WHO TO CALL DAILY KOS HAS THE WHOLE LIST,CLICK THE TITLE..



***********************************************
AID to Burma has been beleagered with troubles,The Military Junta has blockaded most aid, although they were willing to let Petrol in.They have not been willing to admit the enormity of this event, or that aid is needed in a huge region. People interviewed on BBC and Aussie TV, Canadian TV, have not seen any aid arriving even to the more accessible regions. 100,000 are estimated to be dead, and 2 million homeless, this a Major Castastrophe. The survivors are already suffering disease and exposure damage. Click the TITLE and I have linked Daily Kos's Total List of Aid. If you have even an extra $10, you can help feed a family or contribute to medical care, drinking water, or a tent. Sadly the Monks and Monastaries who always help in such an emergency have been weakened substantially, so that source of AID has indeed been drastically damaged. ( After the Tsunami the monks and monastaries were a integral source of support to the survivors , providing shelter, food and medical care).The Monks in Burma , in reduced numbers are trying to help the people, but they have limited resources, food and supplies.

( Most of it had been out on ships and the Aid Workers stuck in Thailand waiting to get in....and their VISAS being refused by the Junta)

ON Ground there:
World Vision,
Unicef,
World Food Programme,
International Red Cross,

today Air Drops started- but it is unclear WHO is doing the Drops....( I don;t even know if they were UN Sanctioned..) Some Humanitarian Nincompoop was on cspan today , he keep saying we are doing what we are legal- I don't really understand that as an issue- LEGAL???? Is it legal for the Junta to starve their people?

There are UN Sanctions that Allow AID when a Military Dictatorship is in place...and there is a Crisis...and Emergency relief is needed..
