The war that followed ended with the Ralph Bunche truce agreement. and Israel was recognized by the United Nations by a vote of 37 to 12. with 9 nations abstaining. Most of the Arabs who fled the war never returned. Thousands still live In Israeli villages. but threequarters of a million of them stayed in the neighboring Arab lands. But these countries either unable. or some say. unwilling. to absorb them into their population kept them In refugee camps. near the border. Our cameras visited these camps In Jordan and Gaza in 1953. Cities of canvas in a jungle of perpetual poverty and moral decay.
