Aid arriving in cyclone-hit Burma
Foreign aid is beginning to arrive in Burma, devastated by a cyclone that has left more than 22,000 people dead.

The head of the US embassy in Burma has warned that without speedy action the death toll there could top 100,000.

Amid accusations of foot-dragging, the UN has urged Burma's junta to give fast access to aid staff and supplies.

Survivors of Saturday's cyclone are hungry, thirsty and vulnerable to disease - but given the huge area affected, and blocked roads, the challenge for aid workers is enormous, say reports.
