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.

This is tragedy beyond imagination. Your people desperately need help. Please don't compound their suffering. Let other countries help in the many ways they are able.

It is in your interests - humanitarian and political - to see to it that aid reaches the many people who have been affected by the cyclone.

Even if you believe allowing the US to distribute aid will bring your military down, just think what not allowing aid to reach your people will do.

This is a no-brainer. Unfortunately, it's another "wonderful" example of "government" deciding what's best.

Please don't repeat the slow and poor limited aid that the people of New Orleans received in the United States aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The people are suffering and need the world's help.
