Welcome back. Burma is still reeling from the devastating effects of Cyclone Nargis. The storm killed tens of thousands of people and left a trail of destruction across the Irra-waddy delta region. Millions of people are still waiting for aid to reach them. And every day more survivors are dying of disease or starvation. But the military government insists it has the situation under control and continues to restrict, even reject, outside help, leaving international relief workers extremely frustrated. We have this report on the conditions there from our correspondent Birgitta Schülke who was just in the disaster zone.
