All moves should be made according to reliable information.
A last resort would be to actually just GIVE the supplies to the junta and trust them to make sure it reaches where it does, to have a chance of saving a few people instead of having all of them die, since time is of the essence. But that should be a wild card and the junta should not imagine that we would be willing to do so.
The delivery of aid into Myanmar but its failure to be distributed could actually even inflame a coup, if the Mizzima editorial I read is correct.

It's true that, in any such nation, the wheels run much slower on things like visas, but the word from the top is,,,,the junta is blocking visas for us.
Details on delivery of life sparing bottled water and rice is sketchy, some drops were made,,and the junta delivered some and held onto some.
Healthcare workers from the afore mentioned groups are ready to go in at a moment's notice with Zinc for roofs/shelter, water, rice, and medicine, but no word yet.
In their recent history, Myanmar has not experienced this level of catastrophe.
While I can understand their reticence,,I also know the numbers when this thing starts to turn sour.
Hope they make a positive move soon.
