Just over a million people hit by the cyclone in Burma have received some form of international aid, a UN aid agency spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs said Tuesday, adding that “we are on the right track”.
Aid delivered by the UN and non-governmental groups has reached about 42 percent of 2,4 million affected people, most of who live in Yangon, she said.
The UN further said on Tuesday it had raised roughly 60 percent of its initial 200 million US dolar target for aid for cyclone-ravaged Burma, where aid workers were now experiencing fewer access problems.
