Even after six to seven months, the victims from some areas still need relief and assistance. "We've worked as fishermen for a long time for our livelihood. We lost both boats and fishing nets in the storm. Two months after the cyclone lashed the areas the authorities compiled a list of fishermen and assured us that we would be provided boats and fishing nets. But we haven't yet got such boats and fishing nets," the wife of a fisherman from Thone Gwa village in Kun Chan Kone Township said. -------------------------------------------------------- Photos of Laputta Township < Prev   Next >
