In 1964, the situation in Cyprus gave cause for alarm and the ICRC decided to intervene by providing relief to the victims of the disturbances. The International Review has published many details of this action and of the humanitarian work carried out by the International Committee delegates for the benefit of those in need on both sides. There is therefore no point in going over old ground, but we would like to give below some figures which convey an idea of the scope of the relief action.
