YANGON, Myanmar (AP) -- Myanmar's state television says the death toll in last week's cyclone has jumped by about 5,000 to 28,458.

It said Sunday that the number of missing now stands at 33,416.

International aid groups, however, say the death toll could eventually top 100,000 as conditions worsen.

Though international aid has started to trickle in, almost all foreign relief workers have been barred entry into the isolated nation. The junta says it wants to hand out all donated supplies on its own.
