Belgium Relief and the War’s Financial Burden
The Belgian government and people have borne relief costs, including a $3,000,000 fund by Belgian bankers to charter ships for grain imports and a monthly $5,000 grant to buy food. Government salaries are paid via the relief commission, with funds routed through it to supply distribution, effectively functioning as a financed lifeline rather than direct aid.
