LONDON (AlertNet) - AlertNet invites relief agencies to apply for money from Reuters Foundation's AIDfund for work in response to Asia's worst cyclone since 1991.

Cyclone Nargis swept across Myanmar on May 2 and 3, triggering a huge tidal wave and killing more than 20,000 people, according to the military government.

AIDfund provides rapid funding to charities and relief organisations around the world in times of disaster.

The funding is only available to AlertNet's member NGOs. Click here to check if your organisation is an AlertNet member.
