Arab Refugee Camp in the Gaza Strip

Help to these refugees has been extended by the Egyptian Government, the International Red Cross, Quakers and, since 1950, by the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Feeding, health, education, welfare, sanitation and the high birth rate were acute problems. UNRWA undertook to distribute food rations and clothing, and set up clinics and general health services, schools, social welfare centers and recreation facilities.
