Burma Cyclone
Pastors Timothy and Rebecca Laklem, the founders and directors of Asian Tribal Ministries, have been working in the war-zone areas of Burma along the Thai border for 30 years preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as providing humanitarian relief such as food, medical supplies, clothing, and hope to the hurting and often displaced peoples of Burma.
A few months ago, Pastor Timothy had requested from the Burmese authorities permission to build schools and visiting families and children in the south of Burma (where the disaster has hit) and ATM also had plans to have the first Christmas Outreach there at the end of the year to many children who have never received a Christmas gift.
In response to the recent cyclone Nargis and the destructive stamp it left upon the Irrawaddy Delta...

UN: 2.5 Million Affected in Burma Cyclone
Kean Wong:
The United Nations is now saying up to 2.5 million people may have been affected by Cyclone Nargis. That's up from a previous estimate of at least 1.5 million. They've proposed a high-level donors conference as Burma's regime continues to slow the arrival of foreign aid.
The European Union's top aid official says the military government's restrictions on foreign aid workers and equipment are increasing the risk of starvation and disease.
Burma was renamed Myanmar by the ruling military junta.
U.N. humanitarian affairs chief John Holmes told reporters between 1.6 and 2.5 million people are "severely affected" by Cyclone Nargis and urgently need aid.
The International Federation of Red Cross held a news conference in Bangkok on Thursday to update journalists on the...

Military Appears Strengthened After Burma Cyclone
Some Burmese had expressed hope that Cyclone Nargis would lead to the collapse of the military government. The cyclone, which hit Burma three months ago, devastated much of the country. More than 144,000 people are either dead or missing. Hundreds of thousands have been left homeless. For weeks, the military government blocked international aid to survivors. Even now, aid agencies say the military impedes their work. But some analysts, and many Burmese, say the storm may have strengthened the military. Heda Bayron has this report from Burma, prepared by Pros Laput.

Burma cyclone deaths tops 15,000 with many more missing
Kean Wong:
Aid is getting to victims of the cyclone and storm surge that tore through Burma's Irrawaddy delta on Saturday. Officials say at least 15,000 people died and another
30,000 are missing. The toll could be higher in low-lying areas and remote villages.
Here more.
Foreign Minister Nyan Win says 10,000 people have died just in Bogalay alone, a town 50 miles from Yangon. And United Nations aid officials say several hundred thousands are left homeless.
The scale of the disaster drew from the military regime a rare acceptance of outside help.
Australian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Stephen Smith, says Australia is ready to assist the victims.
[Stephen Smith, Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs]:
"Whilst we have very grave difficulties with the regime in Burma, we have over...

Burma Cyclone: aid reaches cyclone zone
Jasmine Whitbread, CEO of Save the Children UK, has just returned from Burma where she visited some of the areas affected by the cyclone. She said, "There is no doubt that some of the unsung heroes in this disaster are the Burmese people who have been bringing vital relief to tens of thousands of people. Save the Children's teams of Burmese aid workers are an inspiration to all of us. There are still hundreds of thousands of people who have not received any help and our teams are stepping up their efforts to reach them. We have to get people the aid they need before it is too late."
