Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30708 A START FROM NOTHING WEST BENGAL, India -- Carving new homes out of the forest. This picture, taken in India just across the Pakistani border, shows Christian refugees as they clear ground for make-shift homes. They said they had left Pakistan to escape Muslim persecution. Many thousands have moved into India. The World Council of Churches issued an urgent appeal for aid to the refugees. First reports indicated that 20,000 Catholics, 15,000 Baptists and an undetermined number of other Christians were homeless and in need of clothing, food and drugs. As the giant exodus began there were only two Italian Catholic priests and the two U.S. Baptist missionaries in the immediate area to help them.
