UN helicopters deliver aid to Myanmar delta - World on The Huffington Post

UN helicopters deliver aid to Myanmar delta - World on The Huffington Post: "YANGON, Myanmar — United Nations helicopters fanned out across Myanmar's Irrawaddy delta Monday, a U.N. official said, ferrying critical supplies to villages struggling to survive since a devastating cyclone struck more than five weeks ago.

Four of five helicopters arrived over the weekend and started shuttling food and other emergency supplies on Monday to villages around the hardest-hit towns of Bogale and Labutta, said U.N. World Food Program spokesman Paul Risley. He said the helicopters reached four remote villages Monday morning."
