If we donate for Myanmar will it just be seized by the military there? Or is it worth doing?

I cried in the hairdressers yesterday at a photo in The Guardian of a dead family, including children and I'd like to donate something but can anyone tell me about this? And if so, are they letting any aid workers in so who is best to donate to? DEC? Medecin Sans Frontiers? Who?

i wondered this as well i havent donated anything because i dont trust it to go to help only to courrption oppression etc

so would like to know the answer obviously dec is a reputable organisation but can they make guarantees in thi s situation

it is a terrible regime i really cant understand their motives..never have done tho

does anyone know the answer to this?

I've donated to DEC via Save the Children. I have no idea whether the money will buy aid that reaches the families, but I couldn't not do something.

I saw that pic too www

we've donated to World Vision, they are actually in there at the moment working.
