Myanmar Cyclone

tsmy —

Assalam alaikum,

Cyclone Nargis which hit Myanmar (Burma) on Saturday May 3 2008 was quickly labelled the worst storm to hit Asia in 25 years. To date thousands of people are confirmed dead and many more are missing.

Thousands have been left homeless and are in urgent need of shelter, food and water.

Please donate kindly through your preferred charities.

why has the press turned a blind eye to this catastrophe ?

No they haven't!

Depending on which press you read...

Stop getting the Sun, the Daily Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and the Times!

It's been covered pretty thoroughly in all those papers. Incidentally none of these are to do with the BBC and only The Sun and The Times are related to Sky. The Daily Mail, The Express and The Telegraph are unrelated to one another.
