UNWRA Photo galleries - A day in Aida refugee camp

Aida camp, near the West Bank town of Bethlehem was established in 1950 by refugees from the Jerusalem and Hebron areas. Today Aida hosts more than 4,700 people. The camp has not grown along with the refugee population, and is severely overcrowded. The Israeli settlement of Gilo (far left) sits on the other side of the Barrier, in close proximity to the Palestinian towns of Beit Jala and al Walaja. The settlement was built inside the West Bank, in contravention of international law. Photo credit: Alaa Ghosheh/UNRWA Image 14 of 15
