Other crucial supplies such as temporary warehousing with generators were flown in from Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh and given to WFP Saturday. They will be immediately sent to the Irrawaddy region as it seeks to establish field offices to handle a major food distribution operation, the agency said.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees sent the first land convoy of emergency supplies -- including tents and plastic sheeting for some 10,000 people -- into Myanmar, crossing over from Thailand.
"This convoy marks a positive step in an aid effort so far marked by challenges and constraints," said Raymond Hall, the agency's Representative in Thailand. "We hope it opens up a possible corridor to allow more international aid to reach the cyclone victims."
