"So tired, tired of waiting..." Help has reached 1/3 of those who need it after cyclones hit Burma:
"On Sunday, Burmese TV said the death toll had risen to 28,458, while 33,416 were still missing after the cyclone.
"Aid agencies, however, estimate that 100,000 have died and warn that this figure could rise to 1.5 million without provision of clean water and sanitation...
"In the US, meanwhile, two senior campaigners for Republican presidential candidate John McCain have resigned over links with Burma's military government."
It's being called a humanitarian disaster.
