United Nations Relief and Works Agency. Salt Hospital, Jordan. This hospital which has 65 surgical and maternity beds is the only one which is purely devoted to the needs of the 450,000 refugees in Jordan, although by arrangements with local hospitals some 860 beds can be used. Salt Hospital is staffed entirely by Palestinian doctors, nurses, and orderlies. This picture shows a small patient who seems to be thanking the churches and the United Nations for their care.
