Video: Joel Madden & Nicole Richie campaign for Myanmar aid
POSTED May 14, 7:32 AM



Joel Madden and Nicole Richie are campaigning for UNICEF contributions to help cyclone-devastated Myanmar. Another powerful storm is headed there today, according to the Associated Press:

The U.S. military's Joint Typhoon Warning Center said there is a good chance that "a significant tropical cyclone" will form within the next 24 hours and head across the Irrawaddy delta area.

The area was pulverized by Cyclone Nargis on May 3, leaving at least 34,273 dead and 27,838 missing, according to the government. The U.N. says the death toll could exceed 100,000. An estimated 2 million survivors of the storm are still in need of emergency aid. But U.N. agencies and other groups have been able to reach only 270,000 people so far.

We applaud Joel and Nicole, along with all of the other celebrities who are giving time and money to try to relieve some of the suffering caused by this disaster.

DONATE.
