Tuesday, May 06, 2008- The numbers are staggering. More than 22,000 dead and 40,000 more missing in the days since Cyclone Nargis slammed into Burma, also known as Myanmar. Hundreds of thousands of people are homeless - prompting the region's military government to accept help from outside aid agencies.
