The million or more refugees who have entered Hong Kong since the end of the Pacific War have placed a heavy burden on the Colony's health and social facilities. More than 100 volun- tary welfare agencies are doing invaluable work in squatter areas and the resettlement estates. Upper pictures show noodles being made in a relief centre from corn flour and dried milk sent from overseas.

Each year the voluntary agencies distribute more than 50 million pounds of powdered milk, corn meal flour and wheat flour, giving the highest priority to pregnant women and babies. Milk and biscuits are distributed to the children (below) and the additional nutrition thus pro- vided is vital to their well-being.
