Report from Burmese-Thai Border on the Devastating Cyclone that Has Killed Over 15,000 People in Burma
In Burma, at least 15,000 people have now died following a devastating cyclone. Another 30,000 people are still missing. Aid agencies estimate as many as one million people may be without shelter. The storm hit Burma on Friday night. David Scott Mathieson joins us on the telephone from the Thai-Burma border. He is a consultant to Human Rights Watch on Burma. [includes rush transcript]
it looks like an international intervention

themselves to be the representative of the burmese people.

Aid is needed - from as many countries as possible, and we as the world cannot sit back and let these people suffer.Hopefully aid will be allowed in to help these unfortunate people. Very sad for the people.........
