This is the worst cyclone to hit the impoverished Asian country since 1926 and the highest death toll of any cyclone since Bangladesh in 1991.
Whole towns and villages have been wiped out by the cyclone, which roared for ten hours, tearing off roofs, uprooting trees and destroying power lines. As many as 95 per cent of homes were destroyed in some villages in the low-lying delta region. Within the capital Yangon itself, many homes have been left without roofs.
