UN unable to reach cyclone victims

United Nations aid workers in Burma say they're ready to send help to those worst affected by a cyclone on Saturday ... but so far, the Burmese military authorities have not given them permission to try to reach the most needy areas.
The Burmese authorities say more than 350 people have been killed.

Five regions have been declared disaster zones

Winds of about 190km/h (120mph) battered the Irrawaddy, Rangoon, Bago, Karen and Mon regions.

The latest death toll of 351 includes at least 109 people who lived on Haing-gyi island, off the south-west coast, officials say.

Burmese state television said that on one island, Haing Gyi, the cyclone and the floods that followed had left 90,000 people without homes.

About 20,000 homes have been destroyed on the island.

The death toll is expected to rise further, as the situation is remote areas becomes clear.
