United States 05/08/2008 07:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | !!!!BREAKING ...BURMA DEATH TOLL WORSE THAN TSUNAMI...500,000 BELIEVED DEAD!!!! THE SUN TIMES IS REPORTING: THE death toll in cyclone-ravaged Burma could hit 500,000 – more than TWICE the total killed by the Boxing Day Tsunami. Last night’s warning came as it emerged that 17 Britons, including ex-pats and backpackers, were still missing. Sources said 200,000 people were already dead or dying. But the figure could rise to HALF A MILLION through disease and hunger if the nation’s hardline army rulers continue to block aid for the devastated lowlands of the Irrawaddy Delta. That would dwarf the 230,000 deaths across South East Asia in the 2004 catastrophe. [ link to www.thesun.co.uk] CRIKEY!  |
