Aid starts to reach Myanmar

May 7, 2008 

Government officials in Myanmar have said that 22,464 people have been confirmed dead from Cyclone Nargis. 
Only once the rescue workers reached the most hard hit areas of the storm did they begin to realize the damage that had taken place. At least 10,000 people died in one town alone, Bogalay in the Pyapon District of Myanmar. 
Hundreds of thousands are homeless and another three thousand have been injured by the storm. Drinking water is contaminated and food is becoming scarce as the United Nations (U.N.) and other organizations try to get supplies to the region.
