The United Nations Care for the Palestine Refugees, Middle East

In 1954 UNRWA embarked on a project to anchor the sands and make at least one third of the clay plain beneath them available to cultivation by the refugees. At the end of 1956, over 2,500,000 seedlings had been planted to protect 3,700 dunums of potentially cultivable land in the sand dunes area.
This picture, taken at the mimosa tree nursery, near Gaza, shows a refugee putting in baskets seedlings that are to be replanted on the sand dunes.
