Quotable Quotes
"There is absolutely no help here at all. We are the only outsiders they've seen, no government soldiers and no aid agencies. There is talk of entire villages having been wiped out, of numerous bodies still floating in the water. We're not sure how long the refugees can last without help from the outside world. "
CNN Reporter Dan Rivers
Rivers was reporting from a delta village in Myanmar, in the midst of the destruction wrought by Cyclone Nargis.
