Our hearts have gone out to the people of Myanmar since the Cyclone Nargis hit. The Myanmar junta has even agreed to allow Cargo planes and helicopters to enter into the country to deliver the much needed aid and medical supplies. Doctors Without Borders have already entered into Myanmar and started applying medical help.
Now is when the rice planting needs to be done. Tons and tons of seed is being flown in to help get the crops in. There is not much time to get it all done. Rice is the main diet for Myanmar and it is crucial for their survival later on to get the rice in.
This is the first real opportunity that the outside world is able to really know the devastation in Myanmar caused by the Cyclone Nargis. There is only speculation at how really horrible it is in the Irrawaddy delta. Now the world will finally be able to help.
