Race to avoid disease disaster in Myanmar

A Cyclone Nargis survivor walks at a damaged school which has been turned into a makeshift refugee centre in the village town of Labutta in Irrawaddy Division, May 10, 2008. Despairing survivors in Myanmar awaited emergency relief on Friday, a week after 100,000 people were feared killed as the cyclone roared across the farms and villages of the low-lying Irrawaddy delta region. The storm is the most devastating one to hit Asia since 1991, when 143,000 people were killed in neighbouring Bangladesh.
