U.S. Assistance to Cyprus

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the U.S. assistance program to Cyprus. Following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in July and August 1974, a quarter million people were displaced from their homes. International response with financial contributions for health care, food, and protection was prompt and substantial. During the 1974-1975 period, total international relief to Cyprus amounted to $52 million of which the United States contributed almost half.
