Starvation warning for Children in Myanmar


''Thousands of children in Myanmar will starve to death in two to three weeks unless food is rushed to them'' an aid agency warned.
''Myanmar's isolationist ruling generals were even forbidding the import of communications equipment'' said The United Nations. They should gave out food and receive help from others. this is so inhuman.....
"We have small boats, which could allow us to go through the delta to most of the regions where no one has accessed yet," France's U.N. ambassador said. "We have small helicopters to drop food, and we have doctors."

Watch people finding food and clothes.
