The rulers of cyclone-devastated Myanmar continued to hamper international relief efforts Friday by insisting that supplies were welcome, but foreign aid workers were not. The junta seized two U.N. planes filled with food, saying only the government could distribute supplies. Most aid agencies said they would reject that condition.
The military leaders did give the United States permission to land a cargo plane filled with supplies - on Monday. Red Cross workers in hard-hit regions said help had reached only 220,000 victims, with some 1.9 million still waiting six days after the cyclone struck.
