YANGON, Myanmar - The first U.S. relief airlift arrived in Myanmar on Monday after prolonged negotiations with the country’s isolationist junta, which considers Washington its enemy and has restricted international aid to as many as 2 million cyclone victims.

Richard Horsey, a spokesman for U.N. humanitarian operations, said... "clean drinking water, shelter, medical supplies and food are still desperately needed by hundreds of thousands of people in order to prevent widespread starvation and disease...It’s still a very serious situation. There are up to 2 million people in urgent need of assistance."

Horsey said the United Nations is getting “a lot of reports” of widespread diarrhea outbreaks in the delta, but not of an epidemic scale. Malaria and dengue could also become a problem.

“But basic shelter, clean water and emergency food will be the thing that if we can get it out fast enough will prevent hopefully these major problems,” he said.
