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.

BURMA SUFFERS DEVASTATING CYCLONE.....

************************************************
It is amazing just monthes ago Burma was suffering a Military crackdown and we saw troops everywhere rounding up the Monks....It is now monthes later and the people of Burma are suffering a huge Disaster, and the troops are barely visible. ( And the monks who usually are omnipresent in such a crisis are barely visible as well). This Cyclone struck all regions are around the Bay of Bengal, so getting aid to the region will be difficult. Atleast 10,000 are dead, roads are washed out and Communication is limited at best. Click the title for Phone Interview from the Rangoon Region.

Open Thread Below in the Comments, I will try to post AID Organizations and NGO's that are able to get Aid to the Region. ( I am still researching).
