Myanmar death toll rises above 34,000: state radio
Yangon (AFP) May 13, 2008 The death toll from Myanmar's devastating Cyclone Nargis has risen to 34,273, with 27,836 people missing, state radio said Tuesday. "According to to the latest information at 6pm today, 34,273 were killed, 1,403 were injured and 27,836 missing," it said in a report. The new official toll raises the number of those killed when the storm hit on May 3 from 31,938 dead and 29,770 missing -- figures that were released Monday. However, the UN has warned that the toll likely exceeds 100,000, and that many more may die unless vital aid reaches some 1.5 million survivors.
