UN Secretary General heads to Burma
The leader of Burma’s increasingly isolated ruling junta made his first public visit to a relief camp today as state media lashed out at swelling international criticism that it was closing the door on aid to millions in desperate need following Cyclone Nargis.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, rebuffed in attempts to discuss the situation over the telephone with Burma’s military leaders, announced he would go to the disaster zone this week to try to ramp up aid efforts.
