Myanmar officers wait to carry relief supplies for cyclone victims in Myanmar at the airport in Yangon on May 10, 2008. United Nations officials have said they fear the death toll could climb even higher if the 1.5 million people in need of emergency food, drinking water and medicine are not reached soon. State media in isolated Myanmar report that more than 23,000 people were killed when Nargis ripped its deadly path through the country's southwest last weekend, while foreign officials estimate the death toll at closer to 100,000.
