Israeli Aid Teams Hard at work in Burma

I am glad that some people are able to bring in aid, even though the brutal dictator refuses to allow it. I wonder if anyone will praise the Israelis for this?

IsraeliGirl: Israeli Aid Teams Hard at work in Burma: "About 150,000 people are feared to have been killed and at least 1.5 million people left homeless after south Burma was devastated by cyclone Nargis. Aid agencies in Burma say it is only a matter of time before there are large-scale outbreaks of cholera and other water-born diseases in areas affected by Cyclone Nargis, leading to thousands more dead.

Even in this urgent situation, Burma's military authorities are refusing to accept international help. Most aid workers manage to get into the Myanmar area. However, most of the damage is in South Burma, in the Delta region. The Junta is not allowing aid workers into that region to help the people in need.

Despite the obstacles set by the authorities, Israeli aid workers were among the few able to enter deep inside the Delta region and assist the people in their time of need. To learn more about the situation we've spoken with a representative (note: name witheld to protect relief workers) of Israeli Flying Aid, one of the Israeli organizations working in the region now."
