…. to break my blogging hiatus. How helpless we are under the force of nature’s fury. Myanmar Cyclone 28,458 deaths & 33,416 missing. China Earthquake almost 10000 dead & mounting. All of this in less than 10 days.
There’s been a huge load of blogging and tweeting live as the earthquake and its aftermath unfolded, with first accounts - reports, images and videos from those in the zone, as it happened.
The Worldwidehelp group blog and wiki sprung back into action on May 4, with the Myanmar cyclone - there’s a huge load of information on aid resources available at the Nargishelp wiki now. Many of our contacts on the ground are saying that it’s been difficult and very political trying to get aid quickly through to those affected in Myanmar. We’re also blogging updates on the Sichuan earthquake, and will try and put up information on help required and aid agencies as we get the information.
