Hurricane in Burma

Recently, the country of Myanmar, or Burma, was hit by a devastating hurricanes that has ripped through the country and caused massive amounts of damage. The cyclone killed many but even more are sitll suffering because the Burmese government refuse to allow aid workers to enter the country. So far, well over 29,000 people have been reoprted dead and thousands more reprted missing. The villages in Burma can not get fresh water due to the fact that all the wells and other water sources have been contaminated by the dead bodies and spilled chemicals. There is discussion amoungst the U.N. to forcfully send aid workers into Burma; regardless of if the government will allow it. Without aid from the U.N. the future of the already troubled Burma looks even bleaker.
