UN aid flights to Burma under way

The UN says its first aid flight has now arrived in Burma, bringing much needed relief to up to one million people made homeless by Cyclone Nargis.

flights had been delayed because of Burma's reluctance's to accept help which is causing international concern. However the US and other countries have not been given permission to fly aid into Burma to help those in need. There have been more than 22,980 people killed by Nagis but there are fears that the figure will rise to 100,000.
