The death toll continues to climb in Myanmar after Cyclone Nargis hit the nation early Saturday. The state radio is reporting that more than 22,000 are dead and more than 41,000 are still missing.

“From the reports we are getting, entire villages have been flattened and the final death toll may be huge,” Mac Pieczowski, who heads the International Organization for Migration office in Yangon, said in a statement.

Let us not forget to remember the nation and its victims in our prayers.
