An estimated 2.4 million people were left without food, water and shelter following Cyclone Nargis which hit the Irrawaddy Delta of Burma on 2 May 2008.

Burma Rescue is compiling knowledge resources at BurmaRescue.com and on this YouTube channel to aid private relief efforts by ordinary Burmese citizens and to provide
potentially useful training videos for use by Burmese civil society volunteers who are bringing relief to the devastated areas.
