In this 1952 photo from the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA, archive, refugees walk through Nahr el-Bared, Lebanon refugee camp, one of the first camps established as part of emergency measures to shelter Palestine refugees of the Arab-Israeli conflict in 1948. 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.
