People clear fallen trees in Yangon May 4, 2008. The powerful Cyclone Nargis that slammed into Myanmar's low-lying Irrawaddy delta triggered a massive wave that gave people nowhere to run, killing at least 15,000 and leaving 30,000 others missing, officials said on Tuesday. It is the worst cyclone to hit Asia since 1991, when 143,000 people died in Bangladesh. Photo taken on May 4, 2008. REUTERS/Stringer (MYANMAR)
