Title: Arab woman with two children.
Description: No. 1531. Tyre, Lebanon, March 1952. To Christian refugee workers in Tyre this Arab woman is known as the "Thankful woman." She appears frequently at the office door, with one, two, or three children in her arms or hanging to her skirt, seeking aid.

Title: Mother and baby.
Description: No. 1532, Tyre, Lebanon, March 1952. Too little, too late! The tiny Arab refugee baby, shown here in his mother's arms, is now dead. When discovered by Christian welfare workers, he was already a living skeleton, his tiny body wasted from the ravages of malnutrition. Though emergency food of high nutritive quality was immediately supplied the child was already too weak to respond. There are many Arab children like these among Palestinian refugees, and it is only occasionally that Christian relief can save them, this mother, clad in Western church-contributed clothing, is now heartbroken, because the little one which had become so dear to her, especially under the care she had so desperately rendered with little means, is now gone from her miserable life.

Description: United Nations Relief and Works Agency no. 13518. In most of the camps and in towns where there are concentration of refugees, UNRAW maintain Infant Health Welfare Centres. Here mothers may come for pre-natal care, to learn mother-craft and bring their children to attend the special clinics up to the age of two. Each centre has its own kitchens which serve milk and a daily cooked meal to all babies under two years old. Visited at first with some reticence, the centres have become immensely popular with refugees mothers and today have an average of 21,000 visits per month.
