ICRC medical teams ready to go into action. — With a view to alleviating the suffering caused by the prolongation of the war to the Vietnamese population both in the North and in the South, the International Committee of the Red Cross on December 27, 1965 offered the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Hanoi and Saigon and the National Liberation Front (NLF) to send medical teams to the spot, each consisting of two doctors and one male nurse, all of Swiss nationality. These could, in accordance with the principles of the Red Cross, care for all wounded, sick and disabled, victims of the events.
