    Dead bodies are still floating on the water

     
    This was taken by Mangte & Pate on May 19, 2008. http://www.ilovemyanmar.org/photo/trip.html It is more than two weeks after the Cyclone hit Myanmar, the famous Ayerwaddy River of Myanmar is still filled with dead bodies that is rotting in many places. These bodies are actually obstructing the navigation of many boats using the river. Often boats will knock on human dead bodies that is floating on the river. The river banks are also filled with many dead bodies in various location. We saw dogs actually consumming human flesh that was up at the river banks. Some villagers attempted to tie these corpses with ropes and than dragged them into deeper water but there is just not enough people around to bury the dead or transport the corpses into deeper water. The stench from the Ayerwaddy River due to the dead bodies is so strong.
