During the Korean War, a Korean mother, evacuated with a heavy load on her head and shoulders, caused her young Korean daughter, exhausted from hunger, to fall on the ground to help her. The mother's eyes looked around her, wary of what was going on and tense with anxiety during the Korean War. After several days of long-distance evacuation from North Korea to South Korea, one young Korean girl sat at her mother's feet, exhausted and malnourished. Exhausted and unable to support herself any longer, the Korean girl lost consciousness. The mother, who had been evacuated from the Korean War, continued to call out the Korean girl's name, causing her daughter's body to fall, despite the many bags she was carrying, but she did not give up.
U.S. Army service members take photos as they join the U.S. 2nd Armored Division and 7th Infantry Division at Pyeongtaek and Wolsan after landing on Incheon Wolweo Island, Korea, on September 17, 1950, on their way into Seoul via Suwon sex. The photographs, obtained through the East Asia Representative Office of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), vividly depict the suffering of evacuees leaving on distant roads, the treatment of the wounded, and the misery of parents taking care of their children in the chaos. Through the war photographs, visitors could see firsthand the horrors of war and feel why war must disappear from this land and why a world of peace must come.
The Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, when the North Korean army, with the support of the Soviet Union and its military buildup, invaded south from the entire 38th parallel. In just three days, they occupied the capital, Seoul. Led by the United States, UN troops were dispatched by the UN Security Council. UN forces recaptured Seoul and invaded as far as the Yalu River in the Incheon Landing Operation on September 15. Chinese troops intervened in the Korean War, again sacking the capital, Seoul, which ended primarly on July 27, 1953, with an armistice agreement. The total number of refugees from the Korean War was about 10.41 million, equivalent to half of the population. The number of casualties (killed in action and missing in action) in the Korean War was approximately 987,000 South Korean troops and 1.43 million civilians, while approximately 926,000 North Korean troops and 2 million civilians were killed. About 150,000 UN troops, 183,000 Chinese volunteer troops, and 720,000 civilian Chinese were killed.
