BURMA'S devastating cyclone will claim at least 300,000 lives, including 120,000 children, an aid worker warned yesterday. Scots Save The Children worker Scott McGill - based in Burma's biggest city, Rangoon - said official death toll estimates were certain to climb.
And he added the initial casualties would be swollen by those falling victim to disease and dehydration. Two million people have been left homeless with the torrential rains of the monsoon season on their way.

Scott, 39, said: "The death toll is going to rise. When the Asian tsunami struck the death toll started quite low and rose steadily as the days and weeks went on.

The official death toll from last week's massive earthquake has risen to 41,353 in China.
Survivors are still being found against all odds eight days after the devastating quake.

State media reported that medical teams had now reached all affected villages in remote regions of China's southwestern Sichuan province and were now battling infections in a bid to prevent infection epidemics.

Doctors have so far found 58 cases of gas gangrene, a bacterial infection that produces gas within infected flesh, according to the Xinhua news agency. It said the cases did not represent an epidemic.

At least 32,666 people remain missing following the 7.9-magnitude quake, which also left 274,683 injured.
