Đoàn y tế Batư đến hoạt động tại Kiến Hòa (Iranian Medical Team Comes to Kien Hoa)
A landscape sheet reports that a twenty-member medical team sent by the Iranian 'Red Lion and Sun' society has come to Ben Tre in Kien Hoa province to treat civilians. Four photographs show Iranian and Vietnamese nurses with a wounded soldier, the building where the team works, and an Iranian doctor and nurses with a mother who has just given birth. The tell is foreign aid shown as a named, personal service: team numbers, staff names and bedside scenes stand for wider international backing.
