In this 1948 photo from the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA, archive, a convey of trucks and cars led by white U.N. jeeps travels through the Gaza desert carrying Arab refugees and their belongings from Gaza to Hebron, Transjordan. The photo is part of UNWRA's vast photo archive being digitized in Gaza and Denmark to preserve a record of one of the world's most entrenched refugee problems, created in what the Palestinians call the "Nakba," or “catastrophe”-- their uprooting in the war over Israel's 1948 creation.
