Refugee Crisis Looms Over India and Pakistan
More than 100000 refugees move across borders or gather in camps as Hindu Muslim riots drive 30060 Muslims from Bengal and 20000 Hindus from East Pakistan.

Humanitarian aid from Church World Service and Catholic relief groups plans to aid food and shelter for the displaced.|
