Exclusive eyewitness account from Burma

The Observers publishes an unreleased eyewitness account from a survivor of the cyclone that wrecked havoc in Burma during the weekend. The authorities have so far confirmed 22,000 dead and 41,000 missing people, but the National League for Democracy - the opposition party of Aung San Suu Kyi - says that the total is probably much higher.

This account was filed with the help of one of our Observer in Burma, Than Win Htut.

Urging voters to say no in Saturday's referendum

An umbrella group of the opposition party in Burma, the Political Defence Committee, is against a constitution referendum planned for Saturday and has asked its supporters to graffiti the message in the street. They say the vote is a farce, partly because the ruling military regime has said that anyone who urges people to vote "no" can face a three-year prison sentence.

This woman was evacuated from the Irrawaddy delta, the area worst affected by the floods. Here she's on a bus in Rangoon. The video was filmed undercover by a member of the opposition party. Foreign journalists are normally not allowed into Burma.

"I saw thousands of people sleeping in the street because they had lost their homes. I was lucky, I ran away in the night, but I lost everything I had. I saw lots of bodies crushed under trees, there were so many I couldn't count them. I saw corpses everywhere - old and young, children, animals. I could smell death wherever I went."
