The military junta has finally approved all pending visas for UN staff more than three weeks after Cyclone Nargis.

More foreign relief workers from other groups are also being permitted to enter the Irrawaddy Delta.

The UN estimates that more than two million people still need aid.

Nearly three weeks after Cyclone Nargis killed more than 100,000 people, the junta’s refusal to open the country to international aid help is condemning many more thousands to malnutrition, disease and, unless something is done quickly, death.

The generals have now grudgingly agreed to allow their Asian neighbors to oversee distribution of foreign relief and granted the United Nations World Food Program permission to fly nine helicopters.

Given the horrifying size and complexity of the disaster, that’s not nearly enough.

Our correspondent King Kong Janoi reports from the affected areas in Burma.
