U.S. Assistance to Cyprus.

Abstract

Since the Turkish invasion in July of 1974, the United States has appropriated $131.5 million for disaster relief and humanitarian assistance to Cyprus. This assistance has been channeled through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. This report relates how the program has operated and changed over the past several years and how funds have helped displaced Cypriots. Because so much has been accomplished and because the initial emergency needs in Cyprus have been met, GAO believes that the need for continued U.S. assistance has greatly diminished. Should the Congress decide to continue assistance to Cyprus, GAO believes the program should be designed to enable the UNHCR to phase out as coordinator of the U.S. assistance program. (Author)
