Update on Cyclone Giri
On October 22, Cyclone Giri swept through Burma’s central and western region, killing at least 150 people and affecting more than 400,000. In Burma’s remote Rhakine State where most of Giri’s destruction occurred, very little humanitarian assistance has reached the isolated villages where tens of thousands have been left homeless and displaced by the storm.
Several international and nongovernmental organizations based in the region continue to work closely with Burmese-led civil society groups to provide basic provisions such as temporary shelter, medical aid, food and water.
