Tornadoes killed at least 22 people and injured hundreds as they ripped through communities in the central and southeastern United States over the weekend. Authorities said 14 people died in Missouri, six in Oklahoma and two in Georgia as the storms tracked a course from the border of Kansas and Oklahoma Saturday into Georgia yesterday destroying homes, overturning cars, blocking roads, downing power lines and uprooting trees. Ten people died in Newton County, Missouri, on the border with Oklahoma, according to Susie Stonner of the Missouri Emergency Management Agency, adding that police had not ruled out finding more victims.

"In some areas there are 5,000 bodies in waterways, stuck in fields and in the trees,? said Craig Strathern, spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Yangon, Myanmar's biggest city.

AID HAMPERED

Though international assistance has started trickling in, the few foreign relief workers who have been allowed entry into Myanmar have been restricted to the largest city of Yangon. Only a handful have succeeded in getting into the worst-affected areas. But in what was seen as a huge concession by the ruling junta government, the United States finally got the go-ahead to send a cargo plane packed with supplies, with two more scheduled to land tomorrow.
