Myanmar Disaster

Race Against Time
Some 1.5 million survivors of Cyclone Nargis are in urgent need of medical care, clean water, shelter and food. Aid is arriving, but not nearly enough to address the massive crisis. IRC emergency aid workers are ramping up life-saving assistance in devastated communities in a race against time to avert a looming health catastrophe.                                                                                                       Photo: The IRC
