World governments had pledged to give more money to Burma on condition that an independent assessment of the needs was carried out and that international relief workers were given improved access to the delta region worst hit by the cyclone. Publication of the first full report on the needs of Burmese families today (21 July), which comes after an increase in the number of relief organisations being granted permits to travel in the delta, means that both conditions have now been met.

The agency’s latest report, In the Face of Disaster, says that governments, international organisations and aid agencies must change their tactics and prepare for natural disasters rather than just responding to them. They must invest now to prepare in advance for the increase in the number and severity of disasters that climate change will bring. It is too late to concentrate solely on reducing carbon emissions - climate change is already having an impact. Now is the time to plan for disasters before they happen to reduce the damage they cause to the lives of vulnerable children and their families. Sun, 29 Jun 2008 23:30:00 +0100
