It’s impossible to ignore what has recently happened to the people and surrounding environment of the Southeastern Asian country of Myanmar, which is also known as Burma.

According to an article on CNN.com, the death toll in Myanmar thus far is estimated at 100,000, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in Myanmar history.

This is just one image from the New York Times that shows the effect of the cyclone:

The cyclone that ripped through the country has not only killed thousands of people and damaged entire homes and villages, but it has left people injured, sick and without any family or friends.

One 68-year old fisherman, Thein Myint, lost all 28 members of his entire family, according to NPR.

The disaster has also left thousands of unclaimed bodies still floating in the water and has forced many people to live in tight-knit shelters, both of which make the survivors very susceptible to spreading diseases such as HIV/AIDS and cholera.

Even though aid from outside sources is strictly regulated by Myanmar’s government, there are still many countries and organizations out there fighting to help the victims of the disaster.

The efforts of some countries include Canada sending 2,000 emergency shelter kits and the U.S. military sending cargo planes full of water, mosquito nets and blankets.

It seems like we are worlds away from Myanmar, but we can still do our part to help the victims and their environment recover.
