U.N. agency to resume Myanmar aid flights
Fri May 9, 11:20 AM ET
"The World Food Program has decided to send in two relief flights as planned tomorrow, while discussions continue with the Government of Myanmar on the distribution of the food that was flown in today, and not released to WFP," Nancy E. Roman, WFP's communications director, said in a statement.
The U.N. food agency had previously said it would suspend aid flights over the seizure.
