Toronto – As the death toll climbs in Myanmar, Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty has vowed to help the cyclone victims.

McGuinty says his office has been in touch with the federal government, the red cross and representatives from Myanmar to get a better understanding of what’s happening and how the province can help.

There is no word yet on exactly how the province will help, it’s still trying to figure out the best way to send aid.

When the Tsunami hit south Asia in 2004 Ontario donated 5 million dollars towards the Red Cross Relief effort.

Myanmar’s state television says the death toll in last week’s cyclone has jumped to 28,458.

33,416 people are still considered missing.
