More than one million could be homeless after cyclone, warns charity - icWales

More than one million could be homeless after cyclone, warns charity - icWales: "We are one of the biggest international non-governmental organisations (INGO) working in Burma with 500 national staff working from 35 offices across the country. We have project sites in all of the five states and divisions and since Monday our staff has been on the ground distributing aid to 30,000 people. Save the Children is providing food, water purification tablets, plastic sheeting, kitchen equipment and rehydration salts to treat diarrhoea to people in the worst-hit regions of Yangon and we are putting in place the logistical resources, including trucks and boats, to distribute shelter equipment, food and medication to people living in the remote areas of the rural delta region."
