"On humanitarian grounds, the junta should allow international aid that is desperately needed by cyclone survivors and allow access to relief experts in the cyclone hit areas," Kim, coordinator of Relief Fund for Cyclone Nargis Survivors in Burma based in India said.

"Instead of helping the survivors of the natural disaster who are traumatized, the inhuman regime is forcibly involving them in road reconstruction," Kim added.

Some people from affected villages where no drinking water is available have moved to other villages and taken refuge in monasteries. However, the local authorities ordered them to return to their place of origin where they no longer have a  home anymore when they could not show their identity cards which they lost in the cyclone and floods.

Over 100,000 people perished in Cyclone Nargis which also left 2.5 million homeless and starving.

"We have heard only around 30,000 people have received relief supplies but around two million are still in desperate need of food, shelter and medical assistance. "Kim said.

Over 30 Burmese pro-democracy political, social and non-governmental organizations including India NGOs based in New Delhi, India today issued a joint statement condemning the Burmese military regime for politicizing the conditions in Burma, calling for the regime to allow international aid experts and humanitarian relief supplies for cyclone victims in Burma.

The Burmese pro-democracy group protesting called for humanitarian intervention of the international coalition in Burma's controversial disaster issue.

A joint statement of 30 organizations urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to take action against the Burmese regime which failed to meet its responsibility to help citizens who survived the killer cyclone.

"Unfortunately, there are countries like Burma who are members of the United Nation Security Council. We don't want this body to become ineffective because of countries like Burma," Dr. Tint Shwe, a 1990 election elected Member of Parliament in exile and member of the National Coalition Government of Union of Burma (NCGUB) based in India said.

Apparently, Dr. Tint Shwe was hinting at countries like Burma in the UNSC, particularly China and Russia which have vetoed agendas on Burma forwarded to be discussed in the UNSC meeting.

Burmese pro-democracy groups in its joint statement expressed its gratitude to the Indian government for the shipping  aid and a medical team but said it is still a drop in the ocean.

India was also urged to play a role to facilitate more aid from the international community to be sent to Burma. – Khonumthung.
