A category-3 severe cyclone struck Myanmar on 2nd May, 2008, devastating the coastline and urban centers. After making landfall in the Irrawaddy Delta region, the storm tracked inland, directly hitting the capital Rangoon on the following day. Over 120,000 are reported dead or missing and over 2.5 million survivors need assistance.

They are still waiting for food, medicine, clothing and shelter.

The cyclone caused widespread devastation in all towns and villages along its path including the former capital, Rangoon. Storm surge, estimated as high as 6.8 meters (officially estimated at 4 meters), swept away some villages and sub-soil to the seas and left salt water on the fresh water pond and paddy fields. CNN estimated that no less than 5,000 square miles of land became waste land. It means that these land cannot be cultivated for a few years. "The cyclone and flooding in Myanmar's major rice growing areas have" potentially serious effects" for food supply in the impoverished country" a U.N. official said recently.
