BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Aid call as Burma casualties rise: "International agencies are pushing to gain access for a massive aid operation in Burma, where the toll from Saturday's cyclone continues to rise.
Up to 15,000 people are said to have died in the disaster, and many more are missing, officials say.
Hundreds of thousands of people are said to be without clean water and shelter, with some areas still cut off.
Burma's leaders say they will accept external help, in a move correspondents say reflects the scale of the disaster."
