Cyclone Nargis hit Burma on May 3rd and in an act of dictatorial callousness the military junta refused all foreign aid until a few days ago. Their main reason? Fear of an invasion. They also wanted to make sure they won the elections they had already rigged in their favor. And, of course, it seems to have been on their minds the possibility of making a killing out of taking the foreign aid and selling it to the 1.5 million people affected by the devastation.

At least they are willing to let the United Nations into the country and with the aid of 50 other countries, work on the relief efforts. And with that in mind, we give you a short list of organizations working from inside Burma and in need of donations (taken in part from Reuters AlertNet):
