Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso BC: (U.N.) 9/62 9) KATANGA CRISIS: Throughout the year, the gravest problem \ confronting the U.N. has been that of the secession of Katanga from \ the Congo. Caught in the crisis, 50,000 Baluba refugees squatted \ for months in a huge camp at Elisabethville, but were finally \ repatriated by the U.N. Here a Baluba family leaves the camp. \ Credit: UNITED NATIONS © 1962 MAGNUM Photos
