Bangkok/Yangon - An international emergency aid push for some 1.9 million Myanmar villagers and farmers devastated by Cyclone Nargis was gathering steam Monday as planeloads of goods arrived in Yangon, but agencies still complained of a lack of visas for foreign aid workers.

The first of three cargo planes with a total of 110 tons of tents, medical material and drugs, pumps and generators for water and sanitation, and ready-to-use therapeutic food from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) arrived in Yangon Monday morning, said Veronique Terrasse, spokeswoman for MSF in Bangkok.
