Headline UNKRA's Help to Korea

Caption Description The war rendered homeless millions of Koreans who, still now, live in temporary shacks and shelters in overcrowded cities. Because housing materials are scarce in Korea, the UN Korean Reconstruction Agency introduced new building techniques in the country to erect rapidly and with a minimum of materials the thousands of new houses needed. Special machines imported from South Africa by the Agency to turn out pressed blocks of earth stabilized with a small amount of cement. These blocks, with the necessary supplies of lumber, nails, glass and roofing materials are used in the construction of small dwellings suitable for Korean families.
Here is an aerial view of an UNKRA housing project now under construction near Seoul. When completed this project will include 2,500 units, each of four rooms and a kitchen. [No exact date]
