Mercy flight
Twenty-five children seriously wounded in east and west Beirut haye been flown to France by the French organisation, S.O.S. Children without Frontiers. An association doctor, JeanLouis Rouyard, said in Marseilles, where six of the victims were removed from the airliner, that the children were “admirably cared for in Lebanon, but the war limited the technical means necessary for these grave wounds.” The association’s president, Dr Jacqueline Bonheur, said it was the S.O.S. group’s third such evacuation of victims from “among the thousands wounded” in the Lebanese fighting. The other 16 children were taken to .hospitals in Parise-Paris.
