Foreigners Leave Cambodia for Thai Border Amid Crisis
More than 300 foreigners including an American newsman traveled in 20 trucks to Thailand from Cambodia on Saturday the first exit since the Khmer Rouge takeover. Red Cross says another 250 refugees are expected in coming days. Newsmen and officials describe a grueling 32 hour ride and a health check at a border reception center before buses to Bangkok. France assumes welfare duties and plans a plane evacuation. UN and French officials note food and water shortages and disease risks amid the mass displacement.
