Cyclone Nargis struck Myanmar on 2 May 2008, leaving at least 31,938 dead and 29,770 people missing.
Dozens of the 63 villages surrounding the town of Labutta have been wiped out and US estimates the death toll could hit 100,000.
Many countries have pledged emergency aid so far totalling some 19 million euros (US$29 million).
Singapore sent its first batch of relief supplies - part of the US$200,000 (S$272,000) humanitarian aid package announced by the Singapore government - to Myanmar on 7 May. Several more shipments of supplies are expected over the next few days.
Other non-government organisations such as the Singapore Red Cross and Mercy Relief are also standing by with volunteers and supplies. |
