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.

I work for an International company that has employees in Yangon that we are very concerned about. Let's help all of those that are suffering and get them some food, water, medical supplies and equipment to rebuild now!

They have been through enough pain and suffering and are in dire need of prompt help. Please let all available help reach out to them.

I'm not sure how one can be polite about such an appalling situation. What vile people are involved in the Military in Burma. How do they sleep at night. Words cannot express how sickened I am that anyone can refuse help for those most in need. Obviously none of their relatives have been affected.

I'm only interested in Myanmar's people getting quick aid, by whatever means necessary. This is a situation that requires the power of love to overcome the love of power. People need to come first, not power. That is my humble prayer.
# 21,873:
I admire the pride. But since people are in distress, please allow aids, at least temporarily. This will be apprecaited much.

We should care about what happens to other people in other parts of the world and try to help in any way we can. Who knows if one day it might be us needing their help. The Government should do everything in their power to ensure that help gets to their people as soon as possible. Why make people suffer when you don't have to do anything but just let the food and equipment that is being flown in through international aid organizations get to them in the shortest possible time.
