BANGKOK -- About 5,000 square kilometers (1,930 square miles) of Myanmar's cyclone-hit regions remain underwater, with more than a million people in need of emergency relief, a UN spokesman said Thursday.
"We're talking about 5,000 square kilometers under water," said Richard Horsey, a Bangkok-based spokesman with the United Nation's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
"The bottle neck [in aid] is getting it out in the delta. That needs boats, helicopters, trucks .... there are upward of one million people in need of help," he added.
