Relief in Europe
Relief in Europe
In Greece, Bulgaria, Jugoslavia and Rumania, where students are existing and making attempts to study under famine conditions, the relief has taken mainly the form of supplies, of food, fuel and clothing, canteen equipment, medical supplies and test-books.
Badly needed supplies of books, paper and chemicals have been sent to Austria, Hungary and Poland.
All over Europe accommodation for students is hopelessly inadequate. Temporary classrooms and hostels are being set up to serve until damaged universities can be rebuilt, but this work is only in its initial stages, and thousands of students are still homeless.
