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.

Government has a responsibility to its people to ensure that any possible avenue to ensure life is allowed. The Government of Myanmar has turned its back on this responsibility by obstructing aid, and therefore has let millions suffer.

The news reports are so devastating, please let the aid workers in to help save your people.
# 21,768:
I ask you to open your borders and hearts to allow the help and aid that the rest of the world is offering to reach the people that most desparately need it. This is a natural disaster that is beyond the capacity of any local government to deal with and what is critical here is that the Burmese leaders are seen to want to help those people whom they are supposed to be governing and protecting.
