Myanmar women plant rice seedlings in Dalla
Myanmar women plant rice seedlings in Dalla, about 20 kms south of Yangon on July 9, 2008. The Red Cross on July 9 said it was increasing its appeal for Myanmar to 72.5 million USD to help victims recover from the destruction wrought by Cyclone Nargis. The United Nations plans to stop aid flights between Thailand's Don Muang airport and Myanmar's commercial capital, Yangon, on Aug. 10 and withdraw the last five U.N. helicopters that have been ferrying relief supplies to the hard-hit Irrawaddy delta.
