SINGAPORE, May 6 (Xinhua) -- Singapore announced Tuesday that it will provide 200,000 U.S. dollars in humanitarian aid to Myanmar where Cyclone Nargis has killed at least 15,000 people over the weekend.

    Singapore's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the humanitarian assistance package includes medical supplies, water purifying tablets, tents, ground sheets, blankets, sleeping bags and emergency food.

    The death toll in Myanmar was likely to rise as officials made contact with the worst-hit Irrawaddy delta areas, Myanmar's foreign minister U Nyan Win said on state television.
