and international relief effort
for Biafra is underway in the
wake of the secessionist state’s
surrender. Nigeria’s Chief of
State, Major General Gowon has
promised a general amnesty and
adequate care for the millions of
natives who are expected to
emerge from the bush. Recep-
tion centers have been establish-
ed and one top Nigerian official
says there’s enough food for
everyone, but distribution is the
problem.
European relief advisers say
feeding hungry Biafrans won’t
be a problem because of early
planning and fast donations. US
and British relief efforts have
already materialized, with many
planes full of supplies awaiting
Nigerian clearance for entry into
the country. One US based or-
ganization promised to send a
complete prefabricated hospital.
Meanwhile, the Zambian Gov-
ernment says it will grant poli-
tical asylum to Biafra’s leader—•
General Ojukwu—but would pre-
fer it if he fly to Europe as
soon as possible.
