Myanmar junta 'ignores horror' Another cyclone in Myanmar? Foreign donors give freely

Bangkok - The UN food agency said on Saturday that Myanmar's military regime has impounded two more plane-loads of cyclone aid, making a total of four that have been seized.

"It's all under the same conditions. At this stage the early indicators are positive. We hope to have a clear picture in a couple of days," said Marcus Prior, a spokesperson for the World Food Programme.

"We will continue to send in flights. Our discussions with the government continue. We're very hopeful that it will be positive," he told AFP.
