Joanna Sugden and poker size playing cards There are glimmers of hope in disaster-stricken Burma, Britain’s Asia
minister said from the country today.
Lord Malloch-Brown said mounting international pressure on the
military government to open up the country to foreign aid workers had
resulted in a potential UN and Asian-led relief operation.
“I think we’re potentially at a turning point, but like all turning
points in Burma, the corner will have a few S bends in it,” he said
from the capital Rangoon.
“I’m confident we’ve got movement here in the sense we’ve
diplomatically found an answer to the stand-off.”

The UN estimates that so far help has reached less than 25 per cent of
the 2.5 million people left destitute by the cyclone which ripped
through the country 15 days ago, Lord Malloch-Brown said.
“It’s incredibly late in the day. I’d have liked to be where we are
today two weeks ago,” he said. “You’ve got a Burmese government that’s
deeply suspicious, engrained over years, of outsiders.”
Lord Malloch-Brown said initial efforts began with Asian nations Burma
considers friendly sending aid teams into the country, and an ASEAN
(Association of Southeast Asian Nations) assessment team already on
the ground.
That team is due to report to a meeting of foreign ministers independent clothing ASEAN, of which Burma is a member, cheap homeowners insurance Singapore tomorrow.
UN chief humanitarian officer John Holmes was due in Rangoon today to
meet junta officials. Their presence indicates the possibility of an
Asian-UN led operation into which other countries can channel their
efforts.
“We can be relieved today, two weeks after the cyclone, that there’s
finally emerging a model of cooperation that could work,” Lord
Malloch-Brown said.
But he warned that aid was still not reaching the most in need. “Not
enough aid is getting in and not enough aid workers are able to get
out in the region, particularly international workers with long
experience of disaster relief. That’s a real problem.”
His visit to the country came as Prime Minister Gordon Brown accused
Burma’s ruling junta of “inhuman” treatment of the cyclone’s
survivors.
Mr Brown playing cards promotion the natural disaster, which struck the country on May 2,
was becoming a “man-made catastrophe” because of the government’s
failings.
Burmese authorities put the death toll from volvo insurance cyclone at 78,000 with
a further 56,000 people missing.
Millions of survivors remain in dire need of food, water and shelter.
Save the Children says up to 2,000 children are unable to find their
parents and although other aid agencies said assistance was getting to
hundreds of thousands of victims, they have warned that the relief
effort has to be scaled up rapidly to playing cards custom poker many more deaths from
disease and starvation.
Lord Malloch-Brown saw two ford insurance of UK aid best life insurance unloaded and
visited an area affected by the cyclone on the outskirts of Rangoon.
“(The) encouraging news is that organisations like Save the Children
have been exploiting their long presence in the country and have been
doing much more than noticed. Amongst all the bad news there are these
glimmers of hope,” he said.
The Prime Minister chinese tutor chicago yesterday that forced air-drops of aid were
being considered but noted that charities have warned they could be
“counter-productive”.
“We rule nothing out and the reason we rule nothing out is that we
want to get the aid directly to the people,” he told the BBC’s World
Service.
