Photo Right: As you may already know, with winds of nearly 120 miles per hour and a storm surge of 12 feet, Cyclone Nargis made landfall on May 2, tearing through Myanmar's main rice-growing region, home to about 24 million people -- nearly half the country's population and an area roughly the size of the state of Maryland.

Photo Left: On Monday, May 12, a major earthquake, measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale, jolted southwestern China's Sichuan Province. Several lower-scale earthquakes and aftershocks followed in the same area. The quake destroyed many buildings in the area, as well as infrastructure like communication towers. According to the latest reports, more than 12,000 people have died and many more have been injured or are missing. Many schools were destroyed, including one that had at least 900 students in it. As authorities reach more remote areas, these numbers are expected to rise. For more information about Red Cross Relief Efforts in China click here.
