Jabalia is one of eight crowded Arab refugee camps in the Gaza Strip
Transcribed from the clipping
“Jabalia is one of eight crowded Arab refugee camps in the Gaza Strip. Within its boundaries live 33,000 persons in a bleak, day-to-day existence aggravated by the tension and hostility of the country they now call home.
What help these Arabs receive is generally given to them by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), whose work is limited by the succession of terror incidents and security measures in the region.”
Context added by this archive
Five photographs and a standfirst. The same page calls the Gaza Strip “a tense, occupied land” and says terrorists continue to plague the area.
