Argentina announced yesterday that it will be sending a shipment of pure water filters to the cyclone-ravaged nation of Myanmar. The filters will produce over one million liters of clean, drinkable water. The move comes after a giant cyclone devastated the southeast Asian nation, leaving nearly 30,000 dead, and many more injured. As a result, food and water shortages are becoming a major issue, and if aid doesn’t reach the area soon, the death toll could climb exponentially. Some officials estimate that nearly 100,000 could be dead when all is said and done. The government of Argentina hasn’t disclosed the cost of their donations, however, the filters will provide a substantial amount of aid for the suffering people.
