Historical photo set- no.7: The flight of 10 million Bengalis to India in 1971 ranks as the
most dramatic exodus of the 20th century. UNHCR acted as focal point for a vast relief operation
which allowed millions of people to survive in 800 camps despite monsoon rains and flooding.
A massive repatriation program started when Bangladesh was created in Dec 1971.
