Queen Giving Cash To Burma

Queen Giving Cash To Burma

THE Queen has made a "significant" personal donation to the Burmese cyclone relief effort, it was revealed last night.

The amount given has not been disclosed.

It is thought to have gone to the Disasters Emergency Committee.

A palace spokeswoman said: "The Queen has made a significant personal donation to the appeal."

The news came as Burma faced MORE storms — and its tyrants finally let in a US air force plane loaded with aid.

The military junta gave permission for the huge C-130 transporter to land nine days after up to 240,000 people perished.

The plane unloaded 12 tonnes of water treatment units, mosquito nets and blankets — as British aid workers finally reached survivors.

Save The Children got food and water to 100,000 by truck and boat.

But with rotting corpses littering thousands of square miles, Oxfam fear up to two million could die from disease and famine.
Warped junta chief General Than Shwe — who is guided by astrologers — was feared to have ordered even tighter visa clamps to keep foreigners out.

Yesterday — as Royal Navy ship HMS Westminster headed out to help — PM Gordon Brown called on Burma’s generals to give aid workers "unfettered access".
