The government of Myanmar is preventing the World Food Program from distributing the food it’s flown into the stricken country, leading the United Nations agency to consider whether to cease sending in supplies. Some 22,000 dead already and by some estimates it could rise as high as 100k.

It always amazes me what extent governments will go to to avoid being exposed. In this case, the junta has decided that the death of thousands of its people is worth it being able to maintain control over who comes into the country…what assholes! As usual, it is the youngest that will be victimized the most.
