YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Cyclone transforms rice exporting country into rice importer.

Myanmar's cyclone has claimed at least 70,000 casualties. The World Food Programme confirms that the country will need to import rice as well as other foodstuffs. Relief efforts were previously hampered by the reluctance of the regime to issue visas to aid workers as well as logistical problems in reaching those in need. The death toll is expected to rise.
