Refugee crush grows in Guam and across camps
About 90,000 refugees fill bulging Guam camps as transport schedules shift and airlift capacity expands. Some aircraft show wear while others remain nearly new. Daily departures from Guam begin to slow, while thousands more arrive from the Philippines. Refugees face delays at Orote Point as new bioscreening slows processing. Overcrowding stretches facilities at Ft Chaffee and Pendleton, with relief from Red Cross aid and toy shipments easing spirits.
