Extract

At the foot of the rocks, worn smooth by the desert winds and burning to the touch, the surgeons of the ICRC field hospital at Uqhd in the Yemen are consulting each other about a wounded case. The X-ray apparatus has just broken down and it will not be possible to operate. How many days will pass before the news reaches Geneva and how many weeks before spare parts are received ?

page 635 note 1 We would recall that the Revue Internationale published in March 1960 (English Supplement) an article on “The Red Cross and the Administrative Radio Conference”. This Conference was held in Geneva from August to December, 1959 and its agenda included several questions of direct interest to the Red Cross.

This article contained the text of Recommendation No. 34 relating to the use of radiotelegraph and radiotelephone links by the Red Cross organizations, which was unanimously adopted by the plenary Assembly of that Conference.
