But Biafra is not. as has often been painted. a territory totally dependent upon outside sources of supply. Starvation and hunger exist there. But these conditions are largely products of social instability and the influx of refugees which acconpany any wartime situatiofi. Under* normal conditions the territory of Biafra is hot incapable of providing for its local population In fact. the recent harvest is said to have been reasonably good. and most of the people of Biafra are surviving on crops which they themselves produce. However. relief efforts are still. vital to the maintenance. of life in the area. and. they are far from sufficient to. meet the present and future needs of the people they seek to serve.
