None

The UN Humanitarian chief on Thursday called the situation in Myanmar after Cyclone Nargis "increasingly desperate" and estimated that 1.5 million people have been severely affected.

 

"There is a real danger that an even worse tragedy may unfold if we cannot get the aid that's desperately needed in quickly," Undersecretary-General John Holmes warned. (AP)
