THANT S APEEAL
UN Secretary General U Thant appealed today to all governments and private sources to send relief assistance for the Bangladesh refugees who had crossed over to India. In a public statement he said while he could not estimate the exact number of refugees who had crossed the border there was no doubt that the unfortunate people needed immediate assistance from all quarters of the world. The Indian government s preliminary estimates indicate that such assistance might be of the order of about £73 million for the next six months, he added.
He expressed the hope that the refugees would be voluntarily repatriated at the earliest possible time. U Thant had under consideration a request from Pakistan for food and equipment to ease the situation in Bangladesh.
