Get this while the people needed help the only ones really keeping the help coming were international relief workers and though a bit long it is the best read so far on the topic. The govt. is now going after people with a few cans of food or tying to sell some extra. I read a report where the idea of invading this country was put forth. I thought no! Now I think maybe it is needed. But that is IMHO only. It isn't the topic here.

Now I see the link if someone has a few cans of relief aid they might be charged with hording. Maybe the thought of invading this Military run country is needed. It is a bite of a read but the best report from the area to date.

YANGON, Myanmar - Myanmar's junta warned Thursday that legal action would be taken against people who trade or hoard international aid as the cyclone's death toll soared above 43,000.

It was the first acknowledgment by the military government, albeit indirectly, of problems with relief operations in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis.

The warning came amid reports that foreign aid was being sold openly in markets, and that the military was pilfering and diverting aid for its own use.
