U.N. officials began to tour the cyclone-devastated Irrawaddy delta in Myanmar on Monday, though some U.N. staffers still reported problems gaining access to the tightly controlled country. At least 78,000 people were killed in the cyclone, and another estimated 56,000 remain missing.
Shari Villarosa, the top diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in Yangon, describes what she has seen. See the full report on NewsHour.
