Residents work to remove trees that have fallen on a house in Hling Thar Yar on the outskirts of Yangon, May 6, 2008, after Cyclone Nargis slammed into Myanmar's main city on Saturday. Myanmar's military government raised its death toll from Cyclone Nargis on Tuesday to nearly 22,500 with a further 41,000 missing, nearly all of them from a massive storm surge that swept into the Irrawaddy delta.
