That. at least. is the estimate of Americans and others involved in private relief work in the Cambodian capital. and the press accounts of 1-. 2-. and 3yearold starving and dying children at these voluntary relief centers tends to confirm it. Dr. Robert Beck of World Vision. one of the relief agencies in the city. reportedly summed up the tragedy in this way: Kids are dying who shouldnt die. They die in our arms. Its hard to believe. Theres no excuse for it. In testimony last year before the Senate Subcommittee on Refugees and Escapees. warnings were given that large numbers of Cambodian children were beginning to experience malnutrition and that a crisis was emerging. Still. little was done to meet the crisis by either the U.S. Government or the Cambodian Government.
