In an effort to help the victims of the cyclones in Myanmar (Burma) which resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and after effects of widespread diseases and famine, Google has set up a special Myanmar Cyclone donation page.

According to the Associated Press, United Nations death toll estimates from last weekend’s Cyclone Nargis ranges from 63,000 to 100,000, which is above the Myanmar government’s estimate of about 22,000.

Google is giving users the option to donate to Unicef or DirectRelief International via Google checkout. According to the page on Google, 100% of the funds will go directly to relief efforts.
