Help the Burmese People Receive Aid in Cyclone Aftermath
Target: Embassies of Myanmar, in Washington DC and internationalSponsored by: Care2
In the aftermath of cyclone Nargis, it is believed that up to 100,000 people in Myanmar have been killed, and at least 1.5 million people "severely affected" or left homeless. The United Nations has landed an aid plane in Myanmar, bringing food and equipment to some of the country's population, but the military junta continues to resist offers of large-scale help by blocking most international aid.
At Care2, we are committed to empowering regular people to make a difference around the world. That's the power of a caring community. But when the amazing humanitarian organizations that Care2 partners with are struggling to reach the Burmese people because the corrupt and brutal military junta fails to process visas and open its borders for aid, it makes us mad.
Sign our petition to the Embassies of Myanmar, and urge them to do everything possible to enable the UN and humanitarian aid groups to reach the people of Myanmar immediately.

Not only does the disaster kill, but the conditions afterwards can be just as deadly. These people are especially susceptible to diseases associated with dirty water, uncooked food, and poor shelter due to a dramatic decline in medical care, loss treated/purified water, and exposure to the elements. My heart goes out to these people, please help us help them! |

The people of Myanmar need our help! Every life is worthy of kindness. Please show them that we are concerned with all people, not just those that have a lot of money.
