Hundreds of thousands of people in Myanmar (Burma) are suffering and could die if they don't get the help they need after the devastating cyclone.

The country's military government is resisting help from outsiders, though some aid is getting in. If you can, please consider donating to a reputable relief agency or fund.

UNICEF has done some great work around the world. The agency is well-funded, so perhaps you might contribute elsewhere. But here is the link if you do want to make a donation:

>>INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT OF U.S. FUND FOR UNICEF

>>DONATING TO OTHER RELIEF AGENCIES

Seems to me we should concentrate on this country first. Much of New Orleans is still a wasteland and many there still suffer.

New Orleans AND places in Myanmar need help... not more, not less. Considering how wealthy we are as a nation it's not a stretch to extend a hand here and abroad.

I notice that you did not mention that the Government in Myanmar is putting labels on the relief coming in from other countries. Oh you must have forgot that!. And to wnywkathy, maybe you should listen to your own stations news...we here in the U.S. are being ripped off by the so called Lawmakers and the rest of the thieving Government. People right here can not afford to feed themselves, how a call for them.

The labels are made to look like it's their own Government briging the relief.

I am a producer for MyFoxNY.com. I've worked at WNYW-TV/Fox 5 since late 2001, and I love being a part of the Fox family. Besides writing and producing for Fox 5, I've written articles for newspapers, magazines, and Web sites. I'm an alumnus of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism and I've taught journalism at CUNY's Queens College in Flushing. On a personal note, I enjoy biking, walking around the city, watching baseball, TV shows, movies, reading, creative writing, and spending time with my friends, family, and pets. I'm also an auxiliary police officer with the New York Police Department and a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. I'm not a native New Yorker, but I've lived here most of my life and every day I'm reminded why I love this city so much. So I'm not likely to ever leave.
