"ONE year after Cyclone Nargis, the heads of international nongovern-mental organisations and United Nations agencies working in the Ayeyarwady delta are calling for continued government cooperation and donor support for humanitarian efforts in Myanmar. At a press conference held at the UN?s main office in Yangon on April 30, the UN?s resident and humanitarian coordinator Mr Bishow Parajuli said that ?continued support and engagement by the international community must be ensured for years to come, so the 2.4 million cyclone-affected people can fully recover and regain economic and social stability”...." [mainly quotes from a 30 April UN press conference]
