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.
