Description: The author and photographer of this book is a Swede. He is a compatriot of that other Swede, Count Folke Bernadotte, who was assassinated while serving as UN Mediator in Palestine. […] In this book he reports a visit to the dispossessed Arabs in the Gaza Strip. Here he finds yet another displaced people who are despairing and in want. The UN Relief and Works Agency does what it can with insufficient funds to meet the needs of these expelled Arabs, he states. While the beautiful illustrations do not stress the sorrowful aspects they do show the people as they wait out their lives in this desert strip, or gather their livelihood by fishing on the sea. The children, with their great dark eyes, showing fear, wariness or happiness, are especially appealing. Women carrying water jars on their heads, students attending out-door schools, old men sitting hopeless or blind by crude doorways all combine to show an illuminating picture of want. -- A review fom http://www.jstor.org (August 26, 2016).
