The answer is True. The military junta of Myanmar not only initially refused foreign aid but also threatened to imprison foreign journalists who reported the situation after the Tropical Cyclone Nargis struck the country in 2008. It was after a few weeks later when the junta allowed foreign aid after being subject to immense foreign condemnation.
