Presbyterian run refugee camp in Lebanon.
March 1951. No. 1371 (UNRWA 1017). Mia Mia [Miye ou Miye] camp near Saida [Sidon] in Lebanon. This camp is a property belonging to the Presbyterian USA. 1400 refugees in this camp live in tents and the remainder of the total population of 3180 live in barracks. This picture shows a barrack room divided by sacking into several compartments in order to give a semblance of privacy to the families living here. Washing lines and cooking utensils are hanging round the walls.
