Photo Essay: Burma Picks Up the Pieces
Page 1 of 10
Posted May 2008
A tattered nation tries to recover.

Amid the wreckage: Last Friday, Cyclone Nargis—one of the deadliest cyclones in history—made landfall in Burma, the poorest country in Southeast Asia. In the Irrawaddy delta region, above, 95 percent of buildings were destroyed and 2,000 square miles (5,180 square kilometers) are still underwater. One of the most isolated and repressive countries in the world is now struggling to cope with the scale of the devastation.
