In pictures: Burma five days on

Aid is beginning to trickle through to Burma, where Cyclone Nargis killed tens of thousands of people and left a million homeless.

India is one of the states to have sent aid into the country. This includes food, tents, blankets and drinking water.

The cyclone, which swept through the low-lying Irrawaddy delta region on Saturday, left a trail of destruction.

Monks are among those attempting to clear up the fallen trees and damaged buildings the storm left in its wake.

Burma's military has been in some of the affected areas, but a BBC correspondent says they do not have the resources to deal with a disaster of this scale.

In Manila, demonstrators urged Thailand's government to use the occasion to put pressure on the Burmese regime.
