Title: Yugoslavia quake survivors moved to aid centers.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-29715 YUGOSLAVIA QUAKE SURVIVORS MOVED TO AID CENTERS SKOPJE, Yugoslavia -- A huge tent-city was raised and medical centers were established in areas surrounding earthquake-shattered Skopje, Yugoslavia, where about 80 per cent of the city was ruined and thousands died during 15 seconds of destruction on July 26. Protestant Churches around the world rushed relief supplies to the area and church-workers joined medical units and rescue teams in aiding survivors. In early airlifts, Church World Service, relief agency for the National Council of Churches, sent tents, blankets, medicines and water purification tablets. The U.S. agency also pledged $100,000 to a World Council of Churches appeal for $500,000 for the relief effort. The most seriously injured Skopje residents were removed by stretcher (top photo) to planes that rushed them to Belgrade hospitals. Those who miraculously escaped death or injury retrieved as many personal belongings as possible (bottom photo) from the rubble and moved temporarily to parks on the outskirts of the city where relief reception centers were opened.
