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.

Natral disasters, although demonstrates natures awesome power, has always left a devestating effect on humanity and the communitys infrastructure. During moments of immense hardship and turmoil it is necessary for local and international communities to come together putting aside their political differences to work together and support humanity in its time of need. In order for that to take place we must not hinder the efforts of aid agencies who arew better equiped and trained to deal with such situations. I urge the political bodies to support aid agencies to provide help as soon as possible to the people who need it the most. After all it is the people who have helped you gain your political positions, now its time you honoured your promises

Why would anyone not do all they could to help their fellow man? If you were in their position, would you not want aid from others to help save the lives of yourself and lovedones?

The people in Myanmar have suffered death and devastation and they need help now. I try to imagine how they must be feeling at this time - forsaken, alone and frightened. Let's show them we care.
