Abstract

On March 31, 1949, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration was officially liquidated after five and one half years of existence. Established as a temporary agency to assist war-devastated countries and areas unable to undertake their own relief and rehabilitation, UNRRA was supported by contributions from 48 member governments, four non-member governments and individuals and private organizations. Its work was carried on in missions to 16 receiving countries and it supported displaced persons camps in Germany, Austria, Italy, the Middle East, North Africa and the Far East until the International Refugee Organization was established.
