Cyclone Nargis

May 2008

JWOC staff have been able to coordinate a highly successful relief effort in Myanmar by working with our local contacts to facilitate getting aid supplies into the delta region. Despite the Myanmar authorities blockade against foreign aid workers, we have been able to bypass the checkpoints and bring large amounts of rice and cooking oil to some of the hardest hit villages deep in the delta. Additionally we have provided aid to an orphanage which has been inundated with children whose parents were killed in the cyclone.
