The Burmese government apparently cares so little for its people that it has decided the people in the Irrawaddy delta who haven't yet received any aid, don't really need it. They can live on frogs. ASEAN finds this "regrettable"- an absolutely stunning response, which is bound to shake up the Burmese junta!
Because governments have been so weak in their response to this, I believe the citizens of the world have a greater responsibility to donate and to pressure their own governments to act.
Keep in touch with what is happening around the world through the voluntary organisations such as AVAAZ and Medecin San Frontier. You can also make donations to both. AVAAZ is raising money for the Burmese Monks Association so that they can distribute aid, and Medicin San Frontier works directly with those in need.
