UN Burma aid flights set to resume

The UN is expected to resume aid flights to Burma after charities warned of a disease epidemic of "apocalyptic proportions" due to supplies not getting through.

Agencies have accused the country's ruling junta of delaying crucial relief work needed to help the survivors of last Saturday's cyclone that killed an estimated 100,000 people.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has echoed their concerns, stating that it was "unacceptable" that restrictions were being put on aid.
