Coping with Disaster: Earthquake in Guatemala
Caption Description
The UN family of organizations is often called upon to help in times of disaster – natural and man-made. The office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) provides legal protection and material assistance to refugees. The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) helps the victims of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In 1972 a UN Disaster Relief Office was established headed by a Disaster Relief Coordinator. The tasks of the new office include directing international relief efforts in cases of natural and other disasters, promoting the prevention and prediction of natural disasters, providing advice to Governments on pre-disaster planning, and disseminating information relevant to disaster relief.
