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.
