The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) was a pioneering international relief agency founded in 1943 to aid victims of World War II. It coordinated the efforts of 44 nations to deliver food, medicine, and supplies to war-torn Europe and Asia, helping millions of displaced people return home before its dissolution in 1948.
