Extract

Georges Olivet died in the service of the Red Cross in December 1961 near Elisabethville, Katanga. The last message from him was received on December 13, in which he reported that he had several times tried to reach United Nations headquarters, but without success since the troops on guard had refused to allow him to pass. He had wanted to negociate a truce for the evacuation of civilians in the battle areas.
