Each month the International Review gives an account of its current activities. We now think it will be of interest to give a more general description of some of the important actions in which the ICRC is at present engaged in various parts of the world, what these are and also how they are developing. Relief for the victims of the conflict in Nigeria has, in view of the considerable efforts demanded of the ICRC, often been the subject of largely recapitulatory articles. We therefore now reproduce information and figures showing the situation at the end of March 1969.

In 1963, the International Committee answered the appeal for help from the entire Yemeni population. It installed humanitarian missions for both sides of the conflict, in the North as well as in the South and its action is still being pursued today.
