Volgens de staatstelevisie in Burma heeft de cycloon Nagris 20.000 huizen verwoest op het eiland Haingyi. Ongeveer 90.000 mensen zijn dakloos geworden en er zouden 351 doden zijn. Die beelden geven mij de indruk dat de militiare junta, die al jaren een dictatoriaal bewind voert, de schade niet echt goed in beeld brengt.
Het zal mij dan ook niet verbazen als de werkelijke schade vele malen groter is.
