The Palestine Refugees

1 January 1957

This cave is the home of the six children in the photograph, who live with their parents, Ahmad and Leila Sirhan. Former landowners in their village Deir Abab, they first rented a small house near the Shepherd's Fields after leaving their village. When their money ran out they moved to this nearby cave. Two of the little girls are enrolled in the UNRWA school at Shepherd's Fields.
