Burma [Myanmar]

Many of you have probably not heard what is going on in Burma. But recently there was a cyclone which has already killed more than 200,000 people and will probably kill another 200,000 if not more.

To make the situation worse, the government has basically refused to accept help from any outside governments because they are an army regime and fear that outside influence could cause problems. So people are sitting there hungry, in their disease ridden towns with virtually no help, while food and supplies sit right outside the borders.

The destruction is unbelievable. One city had more than 95% of it's buildings destroyed... I don't even have a category for this.

If you want to read more about it look here. There is more on the government at the economist.

Somehow this is a part of God's plan so pray that his will will be done. Also that the Burmese people will receive help because most of their lives are worse than we can even imagine.
