Village at the heart of Myanmar disaster

One of Al Jazeera's correspondents in Myanmar has managed to reach the area worst-hit by Cyclone Nargis and hear for the first time eye-witness accounts of the true scale of the disaster.

This report is from a remote village at the heart of the Irrawaddy delta.

For her own safety, we are not naming our correspondent.

I have been to Myanmar once. It's so sad to see this. The people were very nice.

Daniel,

How could you be so foolish! Katrina caused nothing near the amount of damage as the cyclon that hit Burma. We lost ~5,000 people, they are going to loose +150,00 people!

where was outside help during our own countries "Katrina"? has it occured to anyone that we were helping Burma practically over night and yet we still haven't resolved New Orleans issues.
