More international aid arrived in Yangon on Friday (May 9) after the Myanmar military government earlier turned back a Qatar rescue team. Among the countries that sent the aid, was Ukraine who sent 5.5 tonnes of aid in the form of construction material. From the region, South Korea donated items including wheat and soap while China contributed 60 tonnes of supplies including tents and water purifiers. Singapore sent the second batch of aid that included food and blankets amounting to 3.2 tonnes. The junta earlier said they will accept foreign aid but not foreign aid workers, after a disaster rescue team from Qatar that arrived in Yangon on an aid flight was turned back. "Myanmar is not in a position to receive rescue and information teams from foreign countries at the moment," said a foreign ministry statement carried in the official Myanmar Ahlin newspaper. "But at present Myanmar is giving priority to receiving relief aid and distributing them to the storm-hit regions with its own resources," the statement said. The Qatar plane was one of 12 international relief flights that landed in the former capital on Thursday (May 8), it said. Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej said on Friday he had cancelled a planned trip to Myanmar this weekend after the junta's announcement that it would not welcome foreign aid workers, just hours after he said he would go. Frustration is mounting over Myanmar's generally feeble response to one of its worst disasters in memory and particularly the delays in giving visas to aid workers and landing rights for relief flights. Western aid experts in Bangkok will have to wait at least four more days to get into Myanmar to help cyclone victims because the Myanmar embassy in the Thai capital has taken a local holiday on Friday.
