I just learned that Reuters has a site, AlertNet, that carries news “alerting humanitarians to emergencies.” Their top story today is on Myanmar. The lede:
<<Torrential tropical downpours lashed Myanmar’s cyclone-hit Irrawaddy delta on Friday as thousands of destitute victims took to roadsides to beg for help to supplement the meagre trickle of aid flowing in.>>
See AlertNet’s full cyclone coverage, including videos, maps, links and more.
