UN official: Myanmar’s Unwillingness To Let In Aid Workers “Understandable”
You’d think the UN would pace itself since it’s in no threat of being dethroned as the most corrupt, incompetent organization ever, but they keep pushing it.
“The strategy is not to “flood Yangon” with aid workers, but get 30 to 40 experienced U.N staffers into the country, according to Richard Horsey, a spokesman for the U.N.’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
“It’s quality over quantity,” he said from his office in Bangkok.
Horsey said Myanmar’s government “is more open to goods” rather than aid workers, but said it was understandable considering the military regime’s “reticence to engage with the international community.” But he pointed out that such a major disaster “would overwhelm any government.”
