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!

No need, they r worse than trash if they dont know what to do, the most important thing is the people, without the people who r they, and let me say this do the government want to be known as the one who stood by the people till the end or the one who stood by and did nothing,. The people represent the country, no the people are the country,,,help the people and they will always be by the hovernments side no matter what decisions they make .

It's awful that people who have already been through a traumatic and life altering experience are being denied the help they deserve. If help is being offered, there is no shame in accepting it and using it responsibly. The key word here is RESPONSIBLY. Please make the right choice and help everyone that needs it. That's what everyone else seems to be trying to do.

burmese people must receive help to survive so you the burmese government open the country to international humanitarian action to save the more lifes possible in birmany, and to prevent epidemies and maybe save lifes of those of your own family.

We saw the United States' handling of Katrina. I am very worried for the Burmese people and the Chinese earthquake victims.

I am concerned about the peoples of Myanmar because the help they need so desparately is not getting through to them and that is not right! Please do all you can to ensure that aid is getting to it's rightful place and stop trying to take advantage of the international communties that are there to help your own people recover from this devestating and catastrophic event. Thank you so much I know you will do the right thing!
