THE United Nations said last week there was a “critical need” for funding to help rebuild the lives of millions of people in the agriculture sector whose livelihoods were shattered when cyclone Nargis battered the Ayeyarwady delta last May.

We had to get up very early and set off in our bullock carts. It took at least a day, and we often got back so late our children were already asleep – they forgot what their fathers looked like,”
