Cyclone kills 4,000 in one town alone
The cyclone hit the south-eastern Asian country, early on Saturday with winds of up to 190 km/h. The cyclone blew roofs off hospitals and schools and cut electricity in Burma’s largest city, Yangon.
An announcement on state television increased the death toll from Tropical Cyclone Nargis more than ten-fold in the country which is one of the poorest on the planet.
