No, not this one! This one!

There are aid workers on the ground in Burma right now and they need your help! Please rec the linked diary, and donate if you can - to the site linked there or to other organizations that have been able to get in.

   The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies could not say how much of the cargo has been lost, but it said the food supplies were contaminated by river water.

   Other aid was increasingly getting through, the group said, but on "nowhere near the scale required."

That's because we're not getting it to them. Let's go, DKos!

UPDATE:

TexMex hasn't updated his diary in a while, and several good links to other aid organizations on the ground in Burma have been added in the comments:

Doctors Without Borders

WSPA (Help the animal victims!)

Avaaz (helping the monks, endorsed by MoveOn)

And the direct link to ShelterBox USA (not the donate site, which has some broken links that worry some would-be donators)
ShelterBox USA
