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 strongly believe in helping people in need and frankly, it is very apparant they are in dire need right now. We are very privileged to have shelter, food. water and warmth in the lives we lead. It is our responsibility to ensure we help those who are not in a position to help themselves
# 21,984:
Speedy action will save lives. There is simply no time for messing around with obstructive politics about which group/country can or cant help. Let's just get the help to the people right now.

This needs all hands on deck and the junta does not have the resources to do this mammoth task! Mobilise the Chinese army and volunteer population to get things moving!

The people of the world will hold the government of Myanmar responsible for their heartless delays in accepting the international aid for the victims. It is especially disturbing to see how the military try to mask the internationational aid as supposedly coming from them, by pasting the names of the government officlals on the packages, instead of getting the aid to those who need it as soon as possible.

Humanity above all!

Hope your leaders will soon be able to realise that others are only trying to help Love and Peace
