Regularly scheduled cargo flights arranged by the U.N. to bring cyclone relief aid into Myanmar have been concluded after three months.
The World Food Program said in a news release that the last flight with humanitarian supplies had left Friday from Bangkok's Don Muang airport, where the U.N. agency had set up a supply hub.
It said 232 flights had been dispatched carrying 8.8 million pounds (four million kilograms) of assistance, including shelter material, medical supplies, mosquito nets and water purification
equipment, to the victims of Cyclone Nargis.
The May 2-3 storm left about 140,000 people dead or missing and more than a million homeless.
