Description: Text transcribed from caption: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. UNRWA/T/HJBA/11 Special food for underweight infants following rehydration treatment: Baqa'a Camp, East Jordan. Five month old Khaled Hussein is suffering from reverse low progressing anemia. Currently he weighs just over four kilos. Health facilities in the Baqa'a refugee camp are able to cope with his problem. Every day Khaled is left in the rehydration/nutrition clinic for several hours where he is fed special foods by a qualified nurse, given the necessary injections and checked for progress by a doctor. Khaled's mother has been both advised on home treatment and taught to prevent recurrence of the baby's sickness by a practical nurse. All personnel of the rehydration/nutrition centre in Baqa'a camp are provided by the Norwegian Save the Children Fund. The rehydration/nutrition centres were introduced in 1961 by UNRWA to take care of underweight children suffering from malnutrition or gastro-enteritis. To date seventeen centres have been established. Several additional centres are needed in the Jordanian emergency camps and will be built as soon as funds are available. 849

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.
