A Glimpse into Korean War Refugees

The Korean War resulted in a multitude of refugees. The video footage of Korean War refugees shows the Hungnam evacuation, refugees dangerously hanging from the Daedonggang River railway bridge that was destroyed by bombing in 1950, civilians crossing Mapogang River in Seoul during the January 4th Retreat in 1951, processions of refugees around Seoul Bridge (currently Mapo Bridge) and Yeongdeungpo Station, as well as scenes from Busan (Gwangbokdong), the provisional capital in 1951, students gathered in tent schools and shacks, and even Ewha Womans University.
