Cyclone Nargis was a powerful tropical cyclone that struck Myanmar in May 2008. It formed in the Bay of Bengal and quickly intensified, making landfall on May 2. The cyclone brought heavy rainfall and strong winds, causing widespread destruction in the Irrawaddy Delta region. The impact of Cyclone Nargis was devastating, resulting in over 138,000 fatalities and displacing millions of people. The storm damaged homes, infrastructure, and agricultural land, leading to a humanitarian crisis. International aid efforts were complicated by the military government's restrictions on foreign assistance, hindering recovery efforts in the affected areas.
