Most cyclone victims still waiting for aid

The UN today said only a tiny portion of international relief is reaching Burma’s cyclone victims, amid reports the country’s military regime is hoarding high-quality foreign aid for itself while people make do with rotten food.

“There is obviously still a lot of frustration that this aid effort hasn’t picked up pace” 10 days after the cyclone hit, said Richard Horsey, the spokesman for the UN humanitarian operation in Bangkok.
