After more than two years since Cyclone Nargis hit Burma, the lack of drinking water continues to affect more than 180,000 residents of the Irrawaddy Delta region, according to the United Nation’s office in Rangoon.
Victims were from Labutta, Bogalay, and Mawlamyine Kyun Townships, the UN office’s spokesman, Aye Win, told Mizzima. He added that water scarcity was exacerbated by the dry season and that residents lacked an effective way to get water.
