People
displaced by floodwaters from Cyclone Komen in Burma (also called
Myanmar) secure life-saving provisions of rice and drinking water aboard
boats. High needs for relief remain, and rebuilding and recovery will
require more assistance in the face of continuing landslides and
forecasts of more rains. International media and aid agencies are
unaware of needs in many remote areas, the ministry director of a
Burma-based ministry said. "The flood and the landslides are still going
on," he said. "Thousands of houses and paddy fields have been
destroyed. The government, Non-Governmental Organizations and other
volunteer teams are also doing the relief activities, but there are many
suffering people who are neglected and have not received any relief."
