Child victims of Burma's cyclone Nargis

Among 2.5 million people estimated to be in desperate need of aid in Burma, a large proportion are believed to be children. If the flow of aid allowed into the country doesn't pick up speed, many of them will die. Children are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition, disease and even abuse in the aftermath of natural disasters such as cyclone Nargis.
