RR7512A CAMBODIA THE AGONY OF PHNOM PENH

(20 Mar 1975) RR7512A CAMBODIA THE AGONY OF PHNOM PENH The end of the five year old war in Cambodia has come significantly nearer in recent weeks as Communist rebels - the Khmer Rouge - have drawn an ever-tightening noose around the capital. This report looks at life in Phnom Penh: the carnage, the overcrowded hospitals, the starving refugees, the exodus from the city, the American airlift, and the hard-pressed Cambodian army. It also includes background film on President Lon Nol, and shows Prince Sihanouk and Khmer Rouge commander-in- chief Khieu Samphan touring the so-called “liberated areas“ in 1973.
