been confirmed among survivors of
Cyclone Nargis, but the number was in

A boy splits bamboos on the street of a
village hit by Cyclone Nargis, outside
Yangon, May 16, 2008. Torrential
tropical downpours lashed Myanmar's
Irrawaddy delta on Friday, deepening the
misery of an estimated 2.5 million
destitute survivors of Cyclone Nargis
and further hampering the military
government's aid efforts. Despite the
latest storm, which is likely to turn
already damaged roads to mud in the
swamp-covered region, the former Burma's
ruling generals insist their relief
operations are running smoothly. REUTERS/
