Rice Added To Airlift To Phnom Penh Amid Collapse Fears
The United States adds rice to its airlift to besieged Phnom Penh as diplomats warn Lon Nol’s government likely to fall. DC8 cargo jets bring Vietnamese rice, while rebels fire rockets near the airport killing seven and wounding seventeen. A 30 day effort moves 18,000 tons of rice plus gasoline daily. another line flies 1,000 tons of ammunition from Thailand. Despite aid, analysts say 250,000 strong Cambodian army has many ghost soldiers and cannot stop Khmer Rouge advances as Mekong River remains closed.
