By Xinhua,
Yangon : Six foreign aid experts of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) have moved in Myanmar’s deep cyclone-devastated areas in Ayeyawaddy division to assess the relief and resettlement situation, according to the UN agency here Tuesday.
The UNICEF’s aid workers’ team is the first team allowed into the disaster areas after an ASEAN-UN international pledging conference held in Yangon last weekend.
During UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s last meeting with Myanmar top leader Senior-General Than Shwe in Nay Pyi Taw last Friday, a breakthrough was brought about that Myanmar agreed to admit all countries’ aid workers into cyclone-ravaged areas and join relief and resettlement efforts as well as to use Yangon International Airport as a logistic hub for distributing aid supplies.
