The Refugees' Critical Situation
Immimomummr.????014.......na?
We have been informed itronBint Jubayl that three
thousand refugees are still camping under the trees
there. An Assistant of Mr. Raphael =KM, delegate
of the International Red Cross, inspected the camps last
Sunday and waa able to moo for himself the lamentable
conditions to which the refugees are subjected.
We have also learned that the condition of the i'efug*ei
in the region of Tyre should not be less worthy of pity..
During one week, in fact, the hospital at Tyre cared for
1470 patients, of which seven had typhoid fever, eighty
four dysentery, twenty eight pneumonia, three hundred
eighty one trachoma, fifty six intestinal inflammation,
seventy different fevers, 45 skin diseases, two hundred
eighty nine malaria, etc,
The hospital sent an urgent appeal to the Permanent
Bureau for Palestine in order to restock with pharma-
ceutical products and ledical supplies.
