4,000 Dead in Manymar

4,000 dead, 3,000 still missing following cyclone, Myanmar state media reports Up to 10,000 could be dead, foreign minister tells diplomats Ruling military junta appeals for international aid following deadly storm Thailand already sending aid supplies to Myanmar at neighbor's request

Horrible, just horrible news that hardly nobody even knows about. We bitch if we have 2-3 soldiers die a day, these poor people have just lost over 4k and the death toll apparently could rise to 10k.




Absolutely horrific. I hope all that are lost can be found and all that are hurt can be healed/helped out.




The last I heard which was like yesterday during the day there was a count of roughly like 1-200 people or so?.. Who knows. Sad story.

Aren't they already going through like a genocide of sorts? Really tragic.

That whole area has already had issues beforehand, i'm not too sure about genocides, but 4,000 people is a lot. And possibly upwards of 10,000? Horrible..

Never heard of Manymar.

It's near India.

Isn't it Myanmar? I don't think there is such a place as Manymar.

This is pretty tragic.

It's near India.

Look closely.


I've read up about Myanmar: that storm fucked shit up.

Yes, Myanmar, wrong spelling.

Sadly, only tragic events and war for purpose bring nation's really together. And it looks like this world will experience the former in much more magnitude in the future.

The world will experience both. War over religion and oil, and natural disasters from global warming/climate change.

I'm moving to Canada. Nobody gives a fuck about Canada and it just snows a lot up there.

Who knows what will happen, the future doesn't necessarily have to be limited to those 'causes.

Myanmar, or Burma, is a low lying country which is prone to this sort of disaster (like a lot of countries bordering the Indian Ocean.) With unchecked population growth and rising oceans, disasters such as this are but the appetizer. Much worse has and will happen.

Who knows what will happen, the future doesn't necessarily have to be limited to those 'causes.

I tend to believe that humans are incapable of having any but those outcomes. Sure, we can reverse global warming. Sure, we can not kill each other over stupid shit. The problem is, we're not going to do those things, because humans fucking suck.

The US shoudl go over there and annex that shit. Nice power move.
lol


lol

I've been reading confirmed as 10k.

I've been reading confirmed as 10k.

I read this as well, KagomJack. When I really look at it, I feel terrible inside because I'm not one of the victims. I wish I could help, but it sucks because there is nothing I can do. Hopefully the UN steps in, if they are not already involved, and helps aid in rescue. That's a shitty thing to have happen.

22,464 is the latest number.

Wow, horrible update to the Myanmar storm.

More than 22,000 killed and 41,000 missing, Myanmar radio reports 3.6-meter storm surge leaves more than 100,000 homeless in one area U.N. estimates that up to a million people could not be homeless Storm damage concentrated over a 30,000 square-kilometer area

22,000 dead, how awful. And over 41,000 missing, jesus......

Such a sad state of events, I hope the effort that is needed over there can seriously be established and set forth.

Get FEMA over there, STAT!

41,000 missing though? That's 4x the number of people in my town. Such an outlandish number.. my thoughts and prayers go out to the people in Myanmar. Best of luck recovering.
