Pakistan Sends Relief Goods to Myanmar

Pakistan sends two planeloads of humanitarian assistance to cyclone victims in Myanmar on Sunday. The relief goods included tents, mosquito nets and medicines. Myanmar had been reluctant in accepting foreign aid, but was later forced to change its position because of growing international criticism of its poor response to last week’s disaster.

The Burmese living outside their country are trying to reach family back in Myanmar and coordinating relief efforts for those devastated by the cyclone which killed more than 22,000. More than 41,000 others are still missing.
