From Times Wire Reports
Aid workers scouring the Atlantic coast of Africa from a light plane failed to spot a Russian ship carrying 450 refugees from the war in Liberia that had been barred from ports for 18 days. They estimated that the refugees must have run out of water after the vessel was last supplied Monday. A spokesman for Doctors Without Borders, which organized the search, said: “We can only hope for the sake of the passengers that it is in some small port.”
