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 (UNKRA) introduced new building techniques in the country to erect rapidly and with a minimum of materials the thousands of new houses needed.
This picture, taken in one of the new UNKRA-built houses in Seoul, shows members of a Korean family, the Wons, who moved in recently. Mrs. Won is pressing the family wash by the traditional Korean method of beating the clothing with clubs. [1955]
