Help the Burmese People Receive Aid in Cyclone Aftermath

Target: Embassies of Myanmar, in Washington DC and international
Sponsored 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.

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 large-scale help by most international aid continues to be blocked.

The people of Myanmar urgently needed humanitarian relief, and the world is waiting at your borders -- poised and ready to help.

We respectfully urge you to fast track the paperwork for humanitarian aid workers who are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to help the people of Myanmar, and do everything possible to work with the UN and international aid organizations to provide immediate relief to your people.

We signed the “Help the Burmese People Receive Aid in Cyclone Aftermath” petition!

Please,allow the humanitarian aid AND THE AID WORKERS,AND SPECIALLY THE HELICOPTERS which delivers aid and aid workers in difficult to reach(by boat or road) areas,in your country.It will be considered a malign gesture to deny to the aid and aid workers access to help the people in need,people who are none other than your brethren,whom you say you love and care for their wellbeing.Do not wabble, please,make it happen.

These people need support and assistance in their hour of need, particularly babies and young children and the elderly. They obviously need medical supplies, food and clean water.

Dear Embassies, please realise that the only way to give Myanmar a sustainable future is to urge the military junta to permit all help!

Why is it still so difficult to help people around the world... Some government should review their politics concerning Humanitarian aid. It's so ridiculous...Thank you for supporting and please take action, nowaday mice and keyboards have a real power!

This is fast becoming the most significant tragedy of this century and to think that politics is preventing the recovery of this once beautiful country and its people. I really can not comprehend the self-centered attitude of its leaders.
