Poor roads hamper cyclone recovery in Myanmar: "PYAPON, 19 September 2008 (IRIN) - Bad roads continue to restrict the delivery of much-needed relief and recovery supplies to survivors of Cyclone Nargis.

As well as impacting organised relief operations, bad roads mean fewer private Burmese donors are reportedly travelling to the affected areas, while commodity prices are up due to higher transport costs."
