A year ago, Cyclone Nargis tore through the Irrawaddy Delta region of Myanmar, killing 140,000 people and destroying the homes and livelihoods of survivors.
The humanitarian crisis provided a test case for Myanmar’s military rulers and the international community. Could they work together to help the more than one million cyclone victims in desperate need?
