The guerillas operating in Tigray and Eritrea have agreed to the "safe passage" of aidcarrying vehicles operated by internationally recognized relief organizations. but the government refuses to guarantee such passage. Mr. Speaker. 6 years ago. America and her allies. in concert with the International Red Cross. the U.N. High Commission on Refugees and a number of private voluntary organizations. began massive food shipments to Cambodia. which was also facing famine conditions. The Government of Cambodia was given the type of logistical assistance necessary to better distribute the food aid. But instead. government officials kept most of the aid within city limits and away from the rural areas where people suffered from starvation and malnourishment.
