Gordon Brown warns Burma is headed for man-made disaster
Gordon Brown has today accused the military junta, which controls cyclone-hit Burma of "inhuman" treatment of thousands of survivors and warned there was a danger of turning the disaster in to a "man-made catastrophe".
Cyclone Nargis has claimed at least 78,000 lives according to official Burmese government figures, although aid agencies working on the ground believe the death toll could be as high as 128,000.
