‘Quake cost $500M
NZPA-Reuter Titograd Giant American transport planes led the airlift of relief pouring into southern Yugoslavia yesterday for 80,000 earthquake victims left without homes and threatened by disease. Damage from the earthquake has been estimated at SSOOM, and as relief work stepped up, other officials worked to keep the region’s main industry, tourism, working. With officials concerned about the threat of epidemics after Sunday’s earthquake caved in water wells and left livestock carcasses rotting unattended, aid from both East and West included water purification equipment. Everyone between three and 60 has been innoculated against typhoid as some of the 200 people killed in the devastating earthquake still I lie buried beneath tons of I debris.
