THAILAND 1980. Kampuchean Emergency

Kampuchean Emergency, 1980. The tragic situation both in Kampuchea and in the camps on the Thai border has resulted in one of the UN/FAO World Food Programme's (WFP) largest emergency operations anywhere in the world, totaling in April 1980 over $ 32 million. Food aid in the form of rice, oil and fish and dried skimmed milk for the children and sick people was first granted in September 1979 and the latest expansion to this project was made in January 1980. The original appeal assumed that aid was needed by about 2 and a half million people in Kampuchea and one million people in the border areas in 1980. In addition, in early 1980 it was expected that the number of Thai evacuees from the border areas would grow to about 700.000.
