00:00Let's start by talking about the latest you're hearing about the situation on the ground.
00:04We've got these conflicting reports regarding the flow of aid.
00:08There are some reports that the aid is being blocked.
00:11What's your assessment?
00:12Is aid reaching those who need it most there in Myanmar?
00:15Thanks for having me.
00:16The good news is that the government has invited foreign aid into the country, so we are able
00:23to get to Mandalay, as you've just said, the city that's been impacted the most.
00:28The problem is that the earthquake has affected many rural areas around Mandalay, including
00:33the town of Sagin, which is contested in the war.
00:37It is very complex.
00:39We've worked there since 2008.
00:41We've worked through all of the conflict that's happened.
00:43So we're finding ways to deliver using and working with local organisational partners,
00:49but it is not straightforward.
