The U.N. is reportedly estimating a million people could be left homeless from the destruction. Relief organizations have started to arrive in the area providing food and other supplies.

Myanmar urgently needs diesel fuel to run the rice-tilling machines that are replacing water buffalo killed by Cyclone Nargis in the Irrawaddy delta, a senior U.N. official said Friday. The call by U.N. Undersecretary-General Noeleen Heyzer, head of the world body's headquarters for Asia, came as Myanmar's state-controlled press said that aid from the United States could not be trusted. Tens of millions of dollars have been donated to help Myanmar's Cyclone victims, but the ruling military junta has been reluctant to accept foreign relief experts in large numbers and restricted their access to the hard-hit delta. The U.N. estimates more than 1 million survivors, mostly in the delta, still need help more than five weeks after the Cyclone struck. The government's official Death Toll is above 78,000 and an additional 56,000 people are missing. Heyzer called for Myanmar's Southeast Asian neighbors, foreign aid donors and traditional oil suppliers to assist the country by supplying it with 1 million gallons of diesel fuel. ...

Last month, both China and Myanmar suffered natural disasters of such huge proportions that they received the attention of the world. The combination of the quake and the Cyclone left a Death Toll that is today approaching 200,000, but has affected millions more. Many of us have read the news but have been so caught up in our day-to-day lives that we haven't been able to find time to give. However, new mobile "text-to-give" services will help make charitable donations faster and easier to do. Last month, we informed you how you could use social media for social change . Today, we'll tell you how to use something a little closer at hand: your cellphone. Help China & Mynmar Starting today, customers of Verizon Wireless in the U.S. can donate to a charity called " Save the Children ," who has mobilized in this time of crisis to provide lifesaving assistance in these two affected regions. Verizon customers can text to the address 4SAVE (47283) with the keyword "quake" to contribute to earthquake relief or the key word "Cyclone" to contribute to Cyclone relief. They will then receive a reply asking them to confirm their donation of $5.00, which will appear on their next monthly bill. In China, they're doing the same thing - China Mobile customers can text the number '10699988', and write the amount they would like to donate (from 1RMB to 30RMB) in the body of the text. The money will is deducted from either their phone bill or prepaid ...
