Palestine Refugees Who Lost ’48 War Between Israel And Arab Neighbors Still Ragged, Sullen
Lynn Heinzerling, Associated Press, Jerusalem
Transcribed from the clipping
“These are the Palestine refugees — 868,350 of them officially… Each year, 25,000 new refugees are born… all line up and receive from UNRWA 22 pounds of flour… This totally lasts about 20 days… The Palestine Arabs always were among the most literate of Middle Eastern peoples… Dr. Izzat Tannous… calls the UNRWA ration one on which ‘an animal could hardly live.’”

First of a series; the correspondent travelled 2,600 miles and talked with scores of people, which this collection holds very little of. The bottom half of the page is a January furniture sale.
