Posted: May 16th, 2008, 2:09am EDT
(AFP) - Heavy rains forecast to hit Myanmar's Irrawaddy delta over the coming days represent a nightmare scenario for the cyclone-stricken country. Weather experts say 12 centimetres (4.7 inches) of rain are set to fall on the area worst affected by the cyclone over the next six days. Language en Duration 00:01:31 Products PRWINT CodeName MMV53696 FileName MMV53696_TEN B.P Yadav, Spokesman, Northern Hemisphere Analysis Center Joe Lowry, Spokesman, Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies Richard Horsey, Spokesman, Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs A dire situation for cyclone survivors is about to get worse. Torrential rains are forecast to drench Myanmar in the next few days. SOUNDBITE 1, B.P Yadav, Spokesman, Northern Hemisphere Analysis Center (10 secs English): "There is a low pressure area, so it is capable of causing widespread type of rainfall and there will be isolated heavy falls also there at some of the places over the coastal regions of Myanmar." The official death toll from the cyclone stands at 43,000. That could rise dramatically with two million people in the Irrawady delta region still desperately in need of shelter, food and medicine. SOUNDBITE 2, Joe Lowry, Spokesman, Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies (18 secs, English): "We believe that there's 12 centimetres of rainfall on the way within the next six days. That's the worst possible imaginable scenario. That could send people fleeing again. Some people have moved two or three times. It could send them looking for shelter somewhere else. It could also provoke health, disease outbreaks." The rain is bad news for aid agencies. Operations are already severely restricted by Myanmar's ruling junta. Now the weather is against them too. SOUNDBITE 3, Richard Horsey, Spokesman, Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (10 secs, English): "Many of the roads that are perhaps passable at the moment may become flooded or muddier and so on. And so that could also hamper the relief effort to a certain extent." These rains are just the start as the monsoon season kicks in. Bringing yet more despair to people who have already lost so much.(AFP)
