EDITORIAL : THE NEED FOR ACTION IN PAKISTAN
THE TORONTO TELEGRAM (Canada) September 13, 1971
East Pakistan needs imports of about three million tons of food grains to prevent famine, according to an American doctor who recently attended a Toronto conference that dis¬cussed the tragedy on the subcontinent. Dr. John Rhode, of the Harvard University medical school, writing in the British medical magazine Lancet, estimates that 25 million of East Pakistan’s poorer people are facing starvation. Dr. Rhode spoke at the South Asia conference in Toronto last month after touring refugees camps in West Bengal and other Indian border states.
