Cyclone Nargis has devastated many parts of Rangoon, Burma’s largest city as well as the populated, low land areas of the Irrawaddy Delta region. See photos.

The most recent reports claim nearly 23,000 were dead, 42,000 were still missing and it is believed that 1.5 million survivors have been left homeless after 190 km/hour (120 mph) winds and pounding rain wreaked havoc on the city of already substandard housing, poor sewage and limited infrastructure. The chief U.S. diplomat in Myanmar has said the toll could reach 100,000.
