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.

So many have died or are hurt and hungry and without a home. Please extend compassion to your country's people.

Aid to victims should not be reliant on race, religion or political preference!! These are human beings that need food, water and medical attention! By not allowing relief aid to enter your country, you are denying YOUR people the right to life! This type of ignorance is WHY the world is in turmoil.

This is a disaster beyond belief. As a powerful nation, it is our obligation to aid human suffering of such a tragic dimension. It is also our opportunity to redeem our global reputation by doing something absolutely necessary and so meaningful for these poor people who have lost everything.

Many more people may suffer terribly, and die, unless full access to international aid personnel is permitted by the Myanmar/Burma government.

How can we consider ourselves as a compassionate people if we don't promptly come to the aid of our fellow human beings when they're in distress?
