Displaced residents who lost their homes take shelter in a buddhist temple in Yangon on May 5, 2008. People of the main city, Yangon, were busy clearing roads blocked by fallen trees and queuing to collect water from neighbours with private wells, as supplies were cut by the storm. Aid agencies rushed emergency food and water into Myanmar after a cyclone tore into the southwest of the impoverished nation, killing more than 350 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless.

Myanmar residents awoke to devastation after tropical cyclone Nargis tore through swathes of the country, battering buildings, sinking boats and causing unknown casualties, officials said. The cyclone also ripped down power and phone lines, cutting off the military-run nation just a week before a crucial referendum on its new constitution, the first polling in Myanmar since general elections in 1990.
