From Ruin to Revival: Reconstructing South Korea
Caption Description
After three years of fighting and destruction, the Republic of Korea is trying to rise to its feet again, but the road from ruin to survival is strewn with difficulties. Cities and villages have been destroyed, communications disrupted and there are great shortages of homes, food, fuel and clothing. The United Nations has set up the UN Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) to help in the basic rebuilding of the country. Financed from voluntary contributions by governments, it works closely with the Government of the Republic of Korea and cooperates with other organizations having objectives similar to its own. About one South Korean out of every four now lives in a makeshift shelter. At least 1,000,000 new homes are needed. Thousands upon thousands of Korea have to live in tumble-down shelters like those shown in this photograph. The Government and UNKRA have begun a program to help meet the need for the new dwellings required. UNKRA has set aside about $2,500,000 for this purpose.
