Myanmar Cyclone Aftermath
Residents queue to get drinking water in Yangon on May 5, 2008. People of the main city, Yangon, were busy Monday clearing roads blocked by fallen trees and queuing to collect water from neighbours with private wells, as supplies were cut by the storm. Aid agencies Monday rushed emergency food and water into Myanmar after a cyclone tore into the southwest of the impoverished nation, killing more than 350 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless.
