Ghana is seeking foreign aid to help feed, clothe, and shelter hundreds of thousands of Ghanaians who were expelled by Nigeria as illegal aliens and were still pouring into the country Thursday. In Geneva, the United Nations Disaster Relief Office said Ghana had asked it for help in coping with about 400,000 citizens returned from Nigeria.
