Myanmar Cyclone a Children's Catastrophe - UNICEF
Date:5/8/2008

rnational and national non-governmental organizations, UNICEF is working to respond swiftly and effectively to the crisis.

In the wake of a disaster that has left at least 1 million people homeless and some 24-million affected, UNICEF is gearing up for a massive relief and supply effort. Prepositioned supplies have already been distributed to address lack of access to clean water and poor sanitation, inadequate shelter and poor nutrition. The new appeal will pave the way for more supplies to reach the battered country once the supply pipeline opens up.

"We have the know-how and the logistical means. People support UNICEF because of our track record in the field," said Stern. "They know we will be there for children before, during and well after the emergency."

UNICEF has been present in Myanmar since 1950, with nine zonal offices and a head office in Yangon.
