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!

Its important that people that are homeless have attention at the moment rather than us. They are suffering more that us. We should give them money or raise money for Myanmar and give them shelter some how.

How can the Myanmar government turn deaf ears to the suffering of its people,the victims of cyclone Nargis?!! The rest of the world is clamouring to help while the Myanmar government remains in a paranoid stupor.

I cannot even imagine the horrors of living in a war-torn country that is then struck by a cyclone. My heart goes out to those who are suffering and who have lost their loved ones.

Too Many People are being left homeless, without food and clean water in devastating conditions. They are open to many diseases which will on its own up the ever rising death toll. The people need help.. not their government. They should be allowed it and the government not to be so up itself to not accept it. X x All My Love

My family is in Burma, and if the government does not smarten up, many can die due to the government's greediness and stubborness.

How heartless of the Mynamar government to sign their own people's death warrant by not allowing adequate releif and aide into the country.
