Korea's Refugee Island Lives with Aid of United Nations Team
Two refugee mothers, newly-arrived on Koje Island, whose children (strapped to their backs) have smallpox, are escorted by a Korean police officer to a dispensary. Looking on are, left to right: A Korean interpreter; Dr. Henry Meyer of the World Health Organization (wearing glasses), Civil Assistance Team member, and Sergeant Lee Norkus of the United States Army.
