 U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon began a mission on Wednesday for
Myanmar's cyclone victims, saying "our focus now is on saving
lives", as the military government gave approval for foreign
helicopters to distribute aid.
 The U.N. Secretary-General has said relief workers had so
far been able to reach only a quarter of those in need among an
estimated 2.4 million people made destitute by the May 2 storm
and sea surge that left nearly 134,000 dead or missing.
