Three Months After Cyclone Nargis Aid Still Needed

(02 Aug 08 - RV) Three months after Cyclone Nargis hit Burma some survivors have still not received much aid.

Many of the 2.5 million people affected by the cyclone are dependent on aid because their source of income has been destroyed.

Rebuilding homes and getting farmers back to work are urgent priorities in cyclone-hit areas of the country, where so many cannot count on receiving any assistance.

A representative of Christian Aid, a relief organisation working in Burma, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of her work, told us more about the urgent need to provide people with food, shelter, medicine and clean water.
