A Family Lay Dead: 50,000 killed and bodies started disappearing?

There's at least 50,000 dead round here. But many of the bodies have disappeared. Wading through the swollen waters, we headed out to see the dead. It wasn't long before we came across the first of the corpses, advertising itself with a putrefying stench.

She lay on the bank of a paddy field. At least it appeared to be a woman, but it was difficult to tell. The body was so swollen and distorted, discoloured and bloated by the sun. It had been there for five days and was now almost impossible to identify.

About 30 metres away there was another corpse. The man was locked in an agonising position on his back, arms spread out, as if he had been trying to hold back the tide. His face had turned leathery black in the heat, left here to rot, unidentified and uncollected.

You got to feel for these victims and the families. My heart goes out to them and hoping that help gets to them really soon.

It seems that the government of Burma wants these people to die... why else would they refuse aid?
