May 8, 2008 | A flooded temple near Yangon on Thursday. Relief officials said that some aid was reaching Burma's main city and elsewhere, but that flooding and road damage had cut off many of the hardest-hit coastal areas. Disregarding the disaster, Burma's military rulers are bent on holding a constitutional referendum designed to enhance the junta's grip over the country. (Photo: AP)
