Shooting's too good for these guys
It seems, according to The Hindu, that "Myanmar’s government is forcing cyclone victims out of refugee camps and 'dumping' them near their devastated villages with virtually no aid supplies. Camps were also being closed in Labutta, another town in the delta, a low-lying area that took the brunt of Cyclone Nargis nearly a month ago. Centralising stricken people in the centres had made it easier for aid agencies to deliver emergency relief since many villages in the delta could only be reached by boat or over very rough roads. Aid workers who have reached some of the remote villages said little remains that could sustain the former residents. Houses are destroyed, livestock have perished and food has virtually run out. Medicines are nonexistent. The official said some of the refugees were being given rations and then are forced to move."
