Burmese community in New York organizes aid
| |
| May 9 -- More than a million people in Burma, also known as Myanmar, are in desperate need of food, water and shelter after a cyclone battered the country last week. The government has been slow to give access to aid workers despite warnings that the country is on the verge of a medical catastrophe. Here in New York, the Burmese community is frustrated at the slow pace of relief but are doing what they can to coordinate donations. | |
