The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) announced at the seventh meeting of the Asean Humanitarian Task Force (AHTF) in Hanoi on Monday that it will end its recovery assistance in Cyclone Nargis-affected regions in Burma by July.
NGO in Burma said more than 500,000 Cyclone survivors in affected Irrawaddy and Rangoon Division still lacked shelter and work.
Asean appealed for an additional US $103 million to address the pressing needs faced by Cyclone Nargis survivors in November 2009.
As of 28 Feb 2010, total pledges had increased to US $91.3 million, and a total of US $38.57 million had been received by either trust fund or implementing partners, according to the statement.
