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.
