Though the cyclone hit on Saturday,leaving 22,000 dead according to the latest count,aid has only just begun to trickle in as some agencies have managed to get into the military-run nation. The death toll may continue to rise unless the borders are opened,CTV's Steve Chao,reporting from Thailand,told Canada AM.
