Extract

The General Delegate of the International Committee of the Red Cross for Sub-Equatorial Africa, Mr. Georges Hoffmann, went to Luanda, the capital of Angola, where he was given a cordial welcome. He was accompanied by Colonel J. V. M. Cabral, Secretary-General of the Portuguese Red Cross, which greatly facilitated both his journey and his contacts. The ICRC delegate discussed various humanitarian problems of common interest with Colonel Cabral and with the authorities. He went to five delegations of the Portuguese Red Cross in Angola, where he visited hospitals, crèches and homes.

Thus, Mr. Hoffmann was able himself to judge the activity carried out by the Portuguese Red Cross in Angola. After visiting Luanda, he left for Lobito and Benguela.
