YANGON, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) will help Myanmar replant forest in Laputta, one of the cyclone-hard-hit areas in Ayeyawaddy division, the local Biweekly Eleven reported Thursday.
Of a total of 400 acres (162 hectares) covered by the project planned for the next tree-planting season, 300 acres are for forest plantation, while 100 acres are for kitchen crops.
Not long after the storm, the UNDP provided aid for cyclone survivors in Laputta to rebuild their storm-ravaged houses, offering each survivor with maintenance cost to rebuild their houses lost in the storm, according to earlier local report.
Laputta township suffered the biggest damage out of those in the Ayayawaddy delta, an assessment of a tripartite core group involving the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Myanmar and the U.N. said.
Due to the storm, over one million acres (405,000 hectares) of farmland in 7 townships in Ayeyawaddy division, 3 in Yangon division, 2 in Bago division and 3 in Mon state were flooded by sea water with more than 200,000 cows and cattle killed, according to the report.
Deadly tropical cyclone Nargis hit five divisions and states --Ayeyawaddy, Yangon, Bago, Mon and Kayin on May 2 and 3 last year, of which Ayeyawaddy and Yangon inflicted the heaviest casualties and massive infrastructural damage.
The storm killed 84,537 people, left 53,836 missing and injured 19,359 people, according to official death toll.
