Residents of the cyclone-hit Myanmar capital, Rakhine, lined up to get drinking water and rice, at a time when the United Nations was negotiating with the internationally isolated military council, in order to reach the affected areas. Cyclone Mocha struck Myanmar and Bangladesh on Sunday, with heavy rains and strong winds estimated at 195 kilometers per hour, which collapsed buildings and turned streets into rivers of torrential water.
