UMCOR Responds to Myanmar Disaster

Cyclone Nargis tore through Myanmar (Burma) May 2, 2008, with unexpected fury, causing a tidal surge that swept inland and devastated Myanmar's most populated regions.  The storm left homes and businesses flattened and families forever changed. Thousands are reported dead, with many thousands more missing.

UMCOR is partnering with Church World Service, the Methodist Church in Lower Myanmar and Action by Churches Together to provide relief and support for those struggling in the aftermath of the cyclone.
