10,000 Dead, 3000 Missing - Myanmar

From Yahoo:

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Myanmar's military government has a provisional death toll of 10,000 from this weekend's devastating cyclone, with another 3,000 missing, a diplomat said on Monday after a briefing from Foreign Minister Nyan Win.

May those who have died rest in peace and rise in glory.

May God heal grieving hearts and minds and grant strength and courage to the living in the face of unimaginable disaster. Touch the hearts and minds of many of the peoples of the world to offer help and aid to the people of Myanmar.

Lord, have mercy.

Truly, I have no further words in the face of tragedy writ so large.
