Education Programme for the Palestine Refugees in the Gaza Strip, 1954
In 1948, following the Palestine war, 200,000 Arabs took refugee in the Gaza strip; they have received help from the International Red Cross, the Egyptian Government, the Quakers and, since 1950, the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). UNRWA undertook to distribute food rations and clothing, and set up clinics and general health services, schools (practical as well as theoretical), social welfare centres and recreation facilities.
