Burma ‘to allow in all aid workers’
Friday, May 23rd, 2008
AP | Burma’s ruling junta has agreed to allow “all aid workers” into the country to help cyclone survivors, the UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon said today.
Mr Ban’s comments came after a crucial two-hour meeting today with the junta leader, Senior General Than Shwe.
When asked if he thought the agreement was a breakthrough, Mr Ban said: “I think so.”
Burma’s junta has until now refused to allow an unimpeded influx of foreign aid and experts to reach survivors of Cyclone Nargis, which hit the country on May 2-3.
At least 78,000 people were killed and another 56,000 are unaccounted for.
