In 1948, the UNICEF action for children began in Austria. It brought 8599 tons of high-quality food into our country until the day of issue of this stamp in May 1949 and had a direct impact on the health of the Austrian children, which is documented by constant examinations by doctors. The statistics of this time speak a clear language. In 1947, examinations showed an average underweight of 4 to 6 kg and an average undersize of 2 cm corresponding to the individual ages of the child. In 1948, these values ​​had already improved significantly and gradually converged with pre-war conditions. Susceptibility and mortality from tuberculosis also improved noticeably.
