500 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ চতুর্দশ খন্ড Yesterday all three British Sunday Papers headlined the plight of the refugees. They all also carried very harrowing photographs of the distress of the refugees. The Sunday Times Color Magazine carried a story with pictures of the refugees. It also had an appeal by Nicholas Tomalin who was one of the correspondents who managed on his own initiative to get into East Pakistan after the military action had started. Tomalin said that no one was more deserving of the world's sympathy than the refugees. Today's London Evening papers both carry stories about the refugees. On their front pages. The Evening Standard story by James Cameron covers nearly half their front page. Cameron says that he has been looking at refugee situations for 25 years and that he has never seen anything comparable to the situation in West Bengal. He says that the cholera story is only one small part of the crisis which now faces West Bengal. ՏՎ3 | ASIAN TOPICAL TALKS PRESS and TELEVISION ON PAKISTAN 8th June, 1971 by Mark Tully (S) People in Britain are not being allowed to forget the plight of the East Pakistani refugees. British Newspapers and Television and Radio continue to describe and comment on the situation. Mark Tully reviews the recent coverage: Television more than any other media can give people who do not know India an idea of the sufferings of the refugees and the problems which the Indian Government arc facing. Last night on BBC Television there was a report from Anthony Lawrence, in which he showed film of refugees who were so weak that they were not able to reach the refugee camps but were dying by the roadside. The pictures were so distressing that viewers were warned not to watch unless they were prepared to be deeply shocked. In his report Lawrence said that every effort was being made by the Indian Government to handle the refugee situation but the problems were so vast that there was bound to be a great deal of suffering and many deaths. Also on BBC Television last night there was an interview with the British Foreign Secretary, Sir Alec Douglas Home. Sir Alec described the British Governments contribution so far to the relief funds. He said that Britain should not cut off aid to Pakistan because of the distress that would cause in Pakistan but he added that Britain could insist on Pakistan providing a political framework into which future aid could be injected. All the British newspapers today describe the relief supplies which are being flown out to Calcutta and the other developments which took place yesterday. The Guardian also has an editorial which starts by saying that the world community should be ashamed at how slow it is to learn. . The paper thinks it is now clear that a world-wide organisation to coordinate relief efforts is needed, and should be formed
