Food is needed in quake's aftermath in Nicaragua
Nicaragua's leader Gen. Anastasio Somoza urged foreign nations to send food rather than medicine after a devastating Managua quake. He said 75 percent of the city was destroyed, with 5,000 to 10,000 dead and 20,000 injured as 250,000 unemployed faced drought. Relief efforts surged, with U.S. planes delivering supplies and international aid mobilized.
