Aid Trickles into Myanmar
Myanmar's military rulers have agreed to let one U.S. cargo aircraft, loaded with relief supplies, into the country. The U.S., the United Nations and international aid groups express growing frustration as they wait for permission to help victims of last week's deadly cyclone. Earlier, Myanmar's government seized two planeloads of critical aid sent by the U.N. Paul Risley, a spokesperson for the World Food Program, tells Michele Noris about his agency's attempts to help cyclone victims. The agency is now planning to send two flights of food to Myanmar on Saturday.
