Aid Groups Mobilize

Christian relief organizations are scrambling to get aid to Myanmar (also known as Burma). The Southeast Asian nation is cleaning up from a cyclone that may have killed more than 15,000 people. A World Vision spokesman says, "The destruction is unbelievable.” The humanitarian organization is appealing for $3 million in donations. Church World Service issued an appeal for $50,000 to help disaster victims. Catholic Relief Services is also raising funds and sending a team to the area. The US has economic sanctions in place against the country because of human rights abuses.
