支持以武力強行救災
週日, 2008-05-11 13:12 — 麥當勞
緬甸不理會印度的颶風預警，對居民不予通報在先，又沒收印度的救災物品在後，把救災物品貼上自己的標記據為己有，實在是怒不可遏。
作為希望把捐款全力用作救災用途的準捐助者，我有必要問，我們有什麼方法確保救災物品不會被緬甸軍政府佔有已有？沒有這個保證，根本是無法捐助，每一分每一毫都只是浪費掉。
不要跟我說主權，這樣的主權早就沒有存在價值，對緬甸居民半點好處也沒有，對地區以至世界局勢也半點好處都沒有。科索沃的獨立就證明了這一點。
人權與人道看似不同，但實在是密不可分，環環相扣。但無論如何，我們想不到在軍政府無能救災之下，竟然連人道的人權都沒有。
我支持以武力強行救災。不要誤會，我不是說外國有責任以武力強行救災，行駛武力需要人力物力，政客也需要付出政治資本，這是慈善的行為，應予支持但不可強加責任。當然，任何國民都有權要求自己國家支援武力強行救災之事，這不是基於自然責任，而是基於管治責任。
誰阻救災，神阻殺神，佛阻滅佛，沒有什麼大道理可以與數以十萬計直接危害的災民相提並論，而以後可能的疫症會令間接危害的災民多達百萬計。
最後希望緬甸軍政府放下主權這個屠刀，接納由外國軍隊保護下由外國志願組織直接的分發救災物品。外國亦需同時保證，只利用軍隊保護平民與救災人員，不用作乘機解決軍政府問題之用。我只是籍此保證平民與救災人員的材物與人身安全不受軍政府充公或威脅，不贊成濫用信任制度。

最新消息：三組織被緬甸政府定為指定救援伙伴
MYANMAR: Aid reaching only a fraction of those in need - government names relief "partners"
BANGKOK, 11 May 2008 (IRIN) - The Burmese government has invited three organisations - World Vision, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) - to serve as 'partners' in the relief effort, according to a statement by World Vision.
Further details were unavailable, but a World Vision spokesman said that despite that signal, only two of the roughly 20 World Vision disaster
relief experts who had applied for visas had so far received them.
As of 7 May - four days after the disaster, only about 276,000 of the roughly 1.5 million critically affected survivors of the cyclone had received any relief supplies either from UN agencies or international NGOs.
That number is now gradually creeping up, UN officials say, but relief is still coming far too slowly.
"It's still very much too piecemeal for our liking," Amanda Pitt, a spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs (OCHA), said on 11 May. "One week on, we would normally expect to have far greater coverage. With this many people affected, everybody is
very concerned. We do not want to see a second wave of tragic deaths caused by disease and starvation."
UN agencies and international charities operating in Myanmar prior to the disaster have been setting to work in disaster response. But agencies also say that without reinforcements from abroad, their staff on the ground has been stretched to the limit.
Aid trickling in
Emergency supplies - including food, water purification tablets, tarpaulins, and other assistance - are now arriving in Myanmar, and gradually filtering into the low-lying Irrawaddy Delta.
The World Food Programme (WFP), which on 9 May accused the authorities of impounding planeloads of emergency food, has since said the cargo,
plus additional supplies from subsequent flights, had been released and was now being distributed in the disaster zones.
Yet humanitarian workers say that the quantity of relief materials flowing into the region is still just a fraction of what is needed.
Most survivors had not yet received any help, due to a lack of supplies, and difficulties in reaching the distressed survivors in remote parts
of the delta. .......
IRIN 引述官報之言
"Myanmar is not in a position to receive rescue and information teams from foreign countries at the moment"
現在唔做，出了疫症才做嗎？
還有，中國在聯合國阻擋強制救援議案，倒底有無血性？

向中國政府施壓
有沒有聯署或行動向中國政府施壓呢?
週六緬北應再有壞天氣
以今日的環境去估計週六的天氣，言之尚早，但如果本週緬北真係有，即使估計只是輕度颱風，都會對救援有所很大阻礙。
另外緬甸駐泰國使館因為泰國假期而一連四日不辦工，週二才復工辦入緬簽證。
改：以下是 ecmwf 就週日天氣於週一的預測，颱風看來很強，圈圈密到我看不清，看來是去孟加拉，但緬甸還是要提防一下
五月十七日：解決緬甸人道救援危機燭光集會
香港爭取緬甸自由聯盟
解決緬甸人道救援危機燭光集會
在親人遇難、家園盡毀、飢餓的苦難中，緬甸人民在絕境中呼喊！
熱帶氣旋納吉斯吹襲緬甸，奪去至少二萬八千人的生命（救援組織估計死亡人數高達十萬），四萬人失蹤，恐已罹難。聯合國估計逾百萬人缺乏清潔食水、食物和棲身之所。若緬甸軍政權仍袖手旁觀，又阻止救援組織救援，死亡人數會以倍數增加。
緬甸的人道危機不單是「天災」，更是四十年來承受的政治壓迫和窮困，導致數以百萬計的人民冒死逃離國土。
為表達國際人民的團結精神，悼念罹難者，記念倖存者，表達你的關懷，請參加本周六晚上的燭光晚會。
