Are they helping the victims or taken by the military in Burma? Of most importance to me, is how are people managing without the needed help of humanitarian groups abroad? And how can we put pressure on our government so that in turn they can pressure this militant gov't into doing the right thing before it's too late? Thank you.

If Dr Gupta would have the need to take nurses with him to help, I surely would volunteer to help in such a tragedy. keep up the good work.

If Dr Gupta or Anderson Cooper can somehow convince the State Department to give them a Diplomatic passport, they can get in. I use to work for the State Dept. It will not be easy to get the black passport, but is not impossible. I believe getting you in will be a plus to the US Govts fight against the Junta if you can somehow get footage out of what is going on. The people there were some of the nices people I have ever met in all my travels and they deserve so much more then they are getting. I hope you can get in.

If you are not reporting no one in the world will know how bad it is and for Burmese like us who are living in US will not know eather. Please keep Burma in the news, from you people will see what's happening and there will be more presure on every one to do something. If you didn't show it on the new no one will ever know the death of thousand of people who are dead and more that are going to be dying because the people who are in athority are too stupid to do the right thing. Thank you for making sure that the dead are not silences and the living may get more help. Thank you Dr. Gupta and the CNN for keeping Burma in the new.

What I would like to see, and I know this has to be happening, is a single snapshot of one soldier there who cares. I know there must be many who are devastated by the suffering, it's the ruler who doesn't care. I'd like to know if there are any efforts to bury their dead. I'm worried about disease. I'd like to know how the average person is doing, and the elderly and children. God, it kills me, to think of some little child trying to survive this without any parents. I'd also like to know if the terrible earthquake that just hit China affected that area any, and if the earthquake has affected the relief efforts any. And with all the problems affecting the relief, is it worth it, donating money? Would my money even ever get there in time to save lives, or would the junta steal that, too? Thank you, and please be safe. Hi Team Gupta,

I am not sure what I would like to see that is new to me. Good luck with getting in and the reporting!
