Burmese military government should give unfettered access to U.S. and other humanitarian aid, Laura Bush, the wife of U.S. President George W. Bush, said Thursday.
United Nations says funding to keep its relief effort going is falling short of the targets.
The first lady made the appeal during a speech to officials of the U.N. World Food Program at the food agency's Rome headquarters. She and her husband are on a weeklong European trip.
The United Nations said Thursday it has received less than half the money it needs for cyclone relief in Burma, with some nations delaying their donations because of concerns about restrictions imposed by the military government on foreign aid workers.
