YANGON - THE death toll from Myanmar's devastating Cyclone Nargis has risen to 31,938, with 1,403 people injured and 29,770 still missing, state television said on Monday.
The new official toll raises the number of those killed when the storm hit on May 3 by some 3,480. Previous figures had put the toll at 28,458 dead, with 33,416 missing.
However, US diplomats have warned that the toll likely exceeds 100,000, and the United Nations has warned that many more may die unless vital aid reaches some two million. -- AFP
