Myanmar Junta Still Blocking Much Cyclone Aid
YANGON, Myanmar — A trickle of aid shipments arrived in Myanmar on Sunday, more than a week after a powerful cyclone smashed the country, but the ruling military junta continued to bar major shipments to more than a million of the storm’s hard-hit survivors.
The junta is also continuing to deny entry to foreign aid workers, who relief officials say are needed to prevent more deaths.
