>Here in Aqaba Camp at Jericho, Palestine, Arab children and mothers receive their daily milk ration from the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF).
>Milk, shipped in dry by UNICEF, is liquified in a nearby kitchen. Besides providing daily food rations for almost 800,000 Arab and Jewish refugee children and mothers, UNICEF is helping to sponsor anti-malaria and anti-tuberculosis campaigns in refugee camp areas in Lebanon, Syria, Transjordan, Northern, Central and Southern Palestine and Israel.
In March 1948 Zionist paramilitaries besieged Jaffa, the 'Bride of the Sea', Palestine's largest city and cultural capital at the time.
By the time Jaffa surrendered on 13 May, over 90% of its Palestinian residents fled, were expelled, or killed. Those that remained were subjected to martial law in what was once the Ajami neighborhood, turned into a ghetto.
so-called "israel" declared its independence one day after Jaffa's surrender on 14 May 1948.
