Responding angrily to the worldwide clamor, the Heng Samrin government has condemned the international aid offers as a "maneuver by the imperialists and international reactionaries" to assist the Khmer Rouge insurgents.

It permits a daily airlift of such supplies into Phnom-Penh and allows an occasional shipborne cargo to reach the port of Kompong Som. But it has refused to permit trucks to arrive from Bangkok lest the vehicles be hijacked by Khmer Rouge troops concentrated along the Thai border.
