Seems to me the best thing they can do is get all those fishing boats back
in the water so the people can start fishing again ASAP instead of
spending all their time building refugee camps. The people can live on
the boats while the houses are being rebuilt. From the newsreel clips the
boats look to be in pretty good shape. They surely must be more
solidly built than the grass huts people were living in.

Hi

I had the same thoughts ,that from what you se you would have had a
greater chance survival being on one of these beached boats. Now most
of these though seem a bit old the smaller ones anyway and I wonder if
the shelters that will be build simply will be what will be build ontop
of-- that what will rise will not profit from the dameage we seen that
it will be temp. shelters . Anyway the suggested shelters and prefab
small buildings I seen seem quite poor ; the same lame metal sheet
roofs the same poor walls no real progress from the idea that what must
be build will be as cheap as what you would expect .
P.C.

The troops in iraq should be sent to help.. all of them.

hmmmm... should we try to help people who keep trying to blow us and thier
own people to bits?
Or should those resouces be sent where they will be wanted......?...
dont seem a difficult choice to me.

Sure there is. Go to Google News and Google yourself.


Burma raises tsunami toll to 53

Burma has raised its tsunami death toll to 53 as disaster experts
wondered how the military-ruled country escaped the massive destruction
the wall of water wrought around the Indian Ocean.

The official Myanma Ahlin newspaper, which reported a toll still lower
than the United Nations estimate of 90, said most of the deaths, up from
the 36 the Government reported earlier, were in the Irrawaddy Delta
area.

-Reuters


How much aid do you want for the 53 people??<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

The situation in Burma after the quake

Rangoon-based international aid organisations on 30 December held a
second coordination meeting in their efforts to help victims of the
earthquakes and tsunamis in Burma, and released statistics they have
collected so far.

A Burmese official from the International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC)
in Rangoon told DVB that representatives from World Vision, UN, UNHCR,
UNICEF, WFP, ICRC and MSF attended the meeting.

He estimated that more than 5000 people could be affected, 1000 houses
destroyed and between 80 & 100 killed. He added that the rural areas in
the delta region of Irrawaddy Division especially Bogalay, Laputta,
Pyapon and Ngaputaw Townships have been affected most.

More than 3,500 people in Irrawaddy Division and 1,800 in Tenesserim
Division had been affected. Three major bridges were destroyed. There
have been no reports of damages in Arakan State but 12 deaths reported.

When asked what the aid organisations have been doing to help the
victims, the official replied that clothing and cooking utensils are
needed and some helps have been distributed through the government
organisations.

an advantage of getting fishing boats refloated would be distribution
of aid. news broadcasts say aid is tied up at airports with roads and rail
washed out along the coast. scarce helicopters are being used to fly
material to coastal villages. apparently the Indian ocean is still
functioning and could be used to distribute materail along the coast if
there were boats in the water. seems all the damages is withing a mile or
so of the water. I think it's probably just the thinking of the
technically advanced piscatorially challenged people in charge.

re Burma. Odd that so few people have been killed given what we are seeing
about north Sumatra, Thailand, and the Andaman Islands. Burma has a lot
more coastline along the Malay peninsula than Thailand. It's not as
developed and maybe not as densly populated. Burma certainly would not
have the tourist resorts.
