Japan's SDF Ends Disaster Relief Operations in Myanmar

   Tokyo, April 22 (Jiji Press)--Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani said Tuesday that he has ordered the Self-Defense Forces to end its disaster relief operations in Myanmar, a Southeast Asian country struck by a powerful earthquake in March.
   The number of patients linked to the earthquake has been substantially lower than before, Nakatani said at a press conference.
   An SDF C-130 transport aircraft delivered 2.5 tons of emergency supplies to a Japanese medical team in Myanmar after arriving in an airport in Mandalay on April 9. The plane has since stayed in the country to collect information.
