On the back: "The severity of the winter in the Middle East brings bitter suffering each year to the refugees.
In the winter of 1950, for over a month, in Northern Syria, temperatures remained at 36° below freezing and icicles hung in the camps.
This spring (1952) gales reaching a force of a hundred m... wrecked havoc in the camps along the coast of the Eastern Mediterranean. In one storm in the Gaza strip, where it rained for nine days consecutively, more than 30'000 refugees were rendered homeless, their mud huts being washed away, tents torn to ribbons by the fury of the wind and rain. Everywhere was mud and children shivering with cold.
