Ongoing humanitarian crisis
Orphans from Cyclone Nargis wait for a daily meal at a local school in Dalah converted into an orphanage, just across the Yangon River from Yangon in Myanmar. The first cargo ship carrying relief supplies to cyclone victims within Myanmar has sunk, the international Red Cross said Sunday. The ship, which was traveling from the capital, Yangon, to Mawlamyinegyun in the Irrawaddy Delta, apparently hit a submerged tree trunk and began to take on water, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said in a statement. It sank near Myinka Gone village. (AP Photo/Jessica E. Davis) Police get tough on mobile phone use whilst driving
A new amendment to the Traffic Act was brought into being in April amid increasing concerns about the number of road accidents caused by drivers losing concentration whilst talking on their mobile phones, and applies both to drivers of vehicles and drivers of motorbikes. However, “hands free” communications equipment which allows conversation will be deemed acceptable. |
