SITUATION IN MYANMAR: 1. Cyclone Nargis struck Myanmar on 2 and 3 May 2008, making landfall in the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) delta region and directly hitting the country?s largest city, Yangon. A majority of the 40 townships in Yangon and 7 townships in Ayeyarwady Division remain on the Government?s list of disaster zones.... 2. Major damage has been reported in affected areas, and particularly in the low-lying delta region, where the Cyclone?s impact was compounded by a storm surge. Transport and communications networks have been badly damaged, rendering many of the worst-hit areas inaccessible to assessment and relief teams. Significant damage has been reported to buildings and houses. The official death toll still stands at just over 22,000, with more than 41,000 missing, though this may well rise. Precise figures on the extent of the disaster or the numbers in need of protection are still not available, and many areas of the delta have not been reached since the Cyclone struck.... 3. Critical remain shelter materials, water purification tables, cooking sets, mosquito nets, emergency health kits and food.
