Title: Deir Balah Refugee Camp, Gaza Strip.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. UNRWA/T/RGDS/2. Deir Balah refugee camp: Gaza Strip. Deir el Balah camp is the smallest of the eight refugee camps administered by UNRWA in the Gaza Strip. Approximately 7,000 Palestine refugees live in the UNRWA shelters, with an average of four to five persons to a room ten feet square. There are more than 375,000 people (265,000 are refugees) crowded into the tiny strip of land known as the Gaza Strip. The overpopulation would be critical enough if the land were fertile, but the area is largely made up of desert sand dunes and has never been independently viable. The exodus of 40,000-45,000 refugees as well as some residents of the Strip following the June 1967 hostilities has had little impact on the overcrowded conditions and opportunities for employment are even more limited than before. 869DB.

Title: Emergency Refugee Camps in East Jordan.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. UNRWA/T/ESJGN/4. Education under canvas in emergency refugee camps in East Jordan. It was in large tents like this, rushed in for the emergency, that UNRWA was able to keep education going for the refugee children involved in the exodus of June 1967. Today they are still in use as classrooms in the emergency camps of East Jordan and in Syria. Some 25 per cent of the 270,000 newly-displaced persons (after June, 1967) from West Jordan are children of school age: the only way their education can go uninterrupted is through an extensive programme of "double shifting" in existing school buildings in east Jordan, together with the use of large marquee tents. Tented classrooms are, however, gradually being replaced in the emergency camps by prefabricated classrooms. 769DB.

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.
