Earlier, Singapore's Foreign Minister George Yeo said Burma had agreed to accept foreign assistance from its Asian neighbours for victims of the cyclone. The announcement follows an emergency meeting in Singapore of foreign ministers from the Association of South East Asian Nations. Yeo said that Burma would hold a donors' meeting in Rangoon on May 25 to discuss its needs. Aid agencies say the death toll from the cyclone which hit Burma earlier this month stands at 78,000, but that number could soar without a massive increase of emergency food and medicine. Burma's military regime has placed tight restrictions on foreign relief efforts.
