Title:Description:No. 1532, Tyre, Lebanon, March 1952. Too little, too late! The tiny Arab refugee baby, shown here in his mother's arms, is now dead. When discovered by Christian welfare workers, he was already a living skeleton, his tiny body wasted from the ravages of malnutrition. Though emergency food of high nutritive quality was immediately supplied the child was already too weak to respond. There are many Arab children like these among Palestinian refugees, and it is only occasionally that Christian relief can save them, this mother, clad in Western church-contributed clothing, is now heartbroken, because the little one which had become so dear to her, especially under the care she had so desperately rendered with little means, is now gone from her miserable life.

Description:United Nations Relief and Works Agency. Salt Hospital, Jordan.

Description:Palestine 120 Jafar camp Amman. This shows tents put up by refugees in one section of Amman, capital of Jordan. It is not an UNRWA camp and both government and the agency have been waiting to transfer the inmates to a better site with proper sanitation facilities. But as the people have found work in the town and cannot afford to pay the high rents required for accommodation they are resisting proposals to transfer them. Amman has more than trebled [sic] its population in 2 years as a result of the influx of Arab refugees from Palestine, who now form over 40% of the population of Jordan (including Arab Palestine). Some refugee children are seen in the foreground.Creator:National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America. Church World Service.

Description:Palestine 214. The refugee problem is largely a problem of youth, for the total of 868,000 refugees, more than half are below sixteen years old. Furthermore, with the high birth rate of 40.8 per thousand, some 36,000 refugee babies were born last year. This picture shows the kindergarten at Dekwani camp, Lebanon, where, although there is no backyard, and no blackboard, few books, and the children sit barefoot on the floor, there is a keen attendance.Creator:World Council of Churches.
