UN says Cambodians cheated UNICEF on milk freight
U N Children’s Emergency Fund officials accuse the Lon Nol government of gouging UNICEF on milk shipments to Phnom Penh. In April UNICEF was forced to use Air Cambodge at high rates, with free space offered by Bird Air and the Royal Australian Air Force, as Mekong barge routes closed. The milk stock, about 110 tons, could feed 100000 children for a month, mostly airlifted. A UN official suggested funds misused by military leaders. Hanoi agreed to more frequent aid flights and Da Nang was opened by the Viet Cong for relief by sea.
