About this Item
A left-stapled Newsweek-size magazine measuring 8-1/4" by 10-3/4" and containing 16 pages including front and rear covers. The issue contains news, articles and photographs on the present conditions of the Palestine refugee camps, UNRA's efforts to provide relief and outreach (with immediate goals of providing food, health services, education, training, and shelter for the refugees and long-term goals of assisting the refugees to become self-supporting), and personal stories and profiles of the refugees who live there. Contents include: Gifts With a Bonus (with two front cover photographs: "Twelve cows, gifts from the Government of Switzerland to UNRWA, arrived in March at the Agency's Beit Hanoun Agricultural Training Centre in the Gaza Strip bearing gifts of their own. At the end of May two of the cows had presented their gifts - two calves. The other ten cows are expected to calve soon, almost doubling the size of the herd"); news items In Brief (including Commissioner-General's European Mission; Young Refugees Train in Switzerland; Donations); A First-Hand View ("Many visitors to the Middle East during the past few weeks have returned home with first-hand impressions of the plight of the Palestinian refugees and of UNRWA's work"); Today's Methods for Tomorrow's Wives - Thanks to Sweden ("Most wives and mothers in the refugee camps of the Gaza Strip go about their household tasks of preparing the day's food and caring for their children in much the same way as did their mothers and their grandmothers before them. But many of their daughters will abandon the often outdated traditions of the past in favour of the methods of the present, thanks largely to a health and education project being initiated by UNRWA").
