No. 1531. Tyre, Lebanon, March 1952. To Christian refugee workers in Tyre this Arab woman is known as the "Thankful woman." She appears frequently at the office door, with one, two, or three children in her arms or hanging to her skirt, seeking aid. Whatever she received food or clothing, or if nothing but sympathy for her miserable condition, she is always profusely thankful. The woman lives with her family in a water tower, has been robbed by night, nearly devoured by insects, and suffers from the perennial need of all Arab refugees hunger and lack of clothing.
