The Operation Rainbow international relief effort has airlifted 232 tons of food and medicine for starving people in southern Sudan, a government official said. Kamil Shawky, high commissioner for relief, said an Indonesian-chartered Hercules C-130 and a French-chartered DC-8, which began ferrying the aid Oct. 12, had transported 179 tons to the government-held southern city of Juba and 53 tons to Isiro, in northern Zaire. The aid flown to Zaire will be trucked across the border into southern Sudan.
