IN THE MIDDLE
Transcribed from the clipping
This is Main Street in the Jabalia refugee camp for Arabs in Gaza, as it now looks. Jabalia is in the disputed strip between Israel on the north and Egypt on the south. In Jabalia 20,000 displaced Palestinians live in about 5,000 rooms. The camp is operated by the United Nations. Note the little girl in the center taking a nap in the sun.

The clipping belongs to the newspaper that printed it, or to the news agency that supplied the copy. It is reproduced here for research, criticism and commentary. A city here is where the newspaper was published, not where the story came from, and on most records it was taken from the masthead.
