After 10 days, a massive spike in deaths will occur if aid does not reach the people in Myanmar suffering from the after-math of the storm. Cholera outbreaks are already being reported. This site has up-to-date videos on the crisis.

Relief Flight Reaches Myanmar
State TV Reports Cyclone Has Caused 28,458 Deaths

YANGON, Myanmar (CBS) ? The United States delivered its first relief supplies to Myanmar on Monday, as the U.N. urged the reclusive nation to open its doors to foreign experts who can help up to 2 million cyclone victims facing disease and starvation.

Myanmar reported that the official death toll from Cyclone Nargis had risen by nearly 3,500 to 31,938. Nearly 30,000 others remain missing, and the U.N. and others have said the death toll could reach 100,000 or higher.

But, reports CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey “if official Myanmar state TV is to be believed… all is well.”

According to the news being broadcast across the country, helicopters are delivering aid and fresh water is being supplied – all courtesy of the ruling junta, and everyone is pleased to see them.

Pizzey says it’s a far cry from what has been labeled “malign neglect” on the part of the government, and bears no relation to the reality in the hard-hit Irrawaddy delta region.
