One week after the landfall of a large cyclone that caused enormous damage in Myanmar, there is no prospect of recovery in the affected areas. Since the UN agency has not received permission from the military and others at the helm, it is unable to provide full-fledged support on the ground.

The Rohingya Muslim minority, which the military continues to repress, have been severely damaged. The National Unity Government, an organization of pro-democracy forces that opposes the military, has killed 435 people so far.
