The displaced persons who were not real sick were given regular food like meat, vegetables, eggs, etc. But a good proportion them were sick and in a starvation state. The medical personnel and Red Cross workers had to help them recover. They fed them broth, "gruel" and whatever else would stay in their stomachs. Eventually they were able to eat soft foods and tolerate vitamins and minerals and proteins again. Sadly, many had lost their teeth due to starvation effects.
