May 8 - Aid continues to trickle into Myanmar from around the region, despite bureaucratic delays as thousands suffer the after affects of a cyclone..

Aid has started to come in from Asian nations, although frustrated governments and relief agencies are putting increasing pressure on Myanmar's reclusive military rulers to throw their borders wide open to as much help as possible.

However as Thursday (8 May 2008) the junta had yet to give a firm go ahead for the U.S. to fly in relief supplies.
