Deir el Balah Camp, Gaza Strip.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. UNRWA/T/ESGDB/1. Between classes at boys' school in Deir el Balah Camp (pop. 7,000), Gaza Strip. Young Arab refugees in the Gaza Strip are enthusiastic students. They and their families realize that the only hope for the future is a sound basic education, followed by some form of technical training: for the Gaza Strip suffers from a vast surplus of unskilled labour and few opportunities for employment. In Deir el Balah camp, UNRWA operates three elementary and two preparatory schools. The elementary cycle lasts six years and is followed by a preparatory of three years. Further education is obtainable at secondary schools run by Gaza authorities. Enrolment in the Deir el Balah UNRWA schools in the 1968/69 school year was 2,391 students.

Emergency Refugee Camps in East Jordan.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. UNRWA/T/ESJGN/5. Education under canvas in new refugee camps in East Jordan. Emergency tented schools are the only schools available for many new refugee children in East Jordan. Some 25% of the 270,000 newly-displaced persons from West Jordan are children of school age: The only way their education can be continued is through an extensive programme of "double-shifting" in existing school buildings in East Jordan, together with the use of large marquee tents such as these. Tented schools are in operation in six new emergency camps in the hills near Amman, Jerash and Irbid. 768.

Title:
UNRWA's Baqa'a Emergency Camp near Amman, Jordan.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. UNRWA/T/RJBA/25. "Water point" at UNRWA's Baqa'a near Amman, Jordan come the refugee women each morning and evening with jugs and tins to carry the water back to their shelters for drinking and household chores. An available source of water is one of the prime factors in the selection of a site for setting up a refugee camp. To date, Baqa'a emergency camp must have a water supply sufficient for 40,000 refugees. UNRWA's environmental sanitation programme is primarily concerned with the provision, in Agency administered camps, of safe and adequate water supplies, sanitary waste disposal, surface drainage and control of insect and rodent vectors of disease. In spite of the many moves of the camps since June 1967, UNRWA, always managed within a very short time to establish a safe water supply. 849.

Title:
Deir Balah Refugee Camp, Gaza Strip.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. UNRWA/T/RGDS/2. Deir Balah refugee camp: Gaza Strip. Deir el Balah camp is the smallest of the eight refugee camps administered by UNRWA in the Gaza Strip. Approximately 7,000 Palestine refugees live in the UNRWA shelters, with an average of four to five persons to a room ten feet square. There are more than 375,000 people (265,000 are refugees) crowded into the tiny strip of land known as the Gaza Strip. The overpopulation would be critical enough if the land were fertile, but the area is largely made up of desert sand dunes and has never been independently viable. The exodus of 40,000-45,000 refugees as well as some residents of the Strip following the June 1967 hostilities has had little impact on the overcrowded conditions and opportunities for employment are even more limited than before. 869DB.
