Quảng Ngãi cứu trợ đồng bào tỵ nạn Cộng Sản, 1965 US poster: A four-photograph Vietnamese-language sheet says the government

Quảng Ngãi cứu trợ đồng bào tỵ nạn Cộng Sản (Relief to Anti-Communist Refugees at Quang Ngai)

A four-photograph Vietnamese-language sheet says the government built 61 resettlement camps at Quang Ngai for refugees from the communists, issues food and goods, and sets up schools. Photographs show a row of camp huts, a crowd around sacks of rice and a classroom. Only relief work is shown, and the sheet gives no figures beyond the camp count.

RELIEF TO COMMUNIST-REFUGEE COMPATRIOTS AT QUANG NGAI

Faced with the ever-growing number of compatriots fleeing Communism, the Government has built 61 resettlement camps so that they have somewhere to stay temporarily.

In addition the Government regularly distributes gifts to the people.

IN THE PROGRAMME TO HELP COMPATRIOTS IN QUANG NGAI, THE GOVERNMENT HAS WORKED HARD TO HELP COMPATRIOTS WHO FLED COMMUNISM WITH FOOD, HOUSING, SCHOOLS, CAMPS, AND SO ON....

At the same time it has set up school buildings so that the children have somewhere to study.

Translation is FRAME's own literal rendering. 'Đồng bào' (literally 'of the same womb') is rendered 'compatriots'. 'Trường trại' is rendered literally as 'schools, camps'.
