Transcribed from the clipping

“Defiance running high at refugee camp. Battles with Israelis a fact of life at Jabalia.” The same Associated Press dispatch. It names Faez Abu Rahme, “a prominent Palestinian lawyer”: “Camp residents compose the bulk of the resistance to the Israeli occupation, and the Jabalia camp is more militant than any other place.” A camp doctor, speaking anonymously, “said residents haul drinking water from three wells contaminated by sewage, and that there was an epidemic of parasitic diseases, including intestinal worms. Four doctors see 400 to 500 patients each day.” It also visits the home of Mohammed Yousef Abu Sisi, father of the youth newly dead.

Context added by this archive

Same wire copy as the Courier Post. One headline says the camp breeds foes; this one says defiance.
