PALESTINE REFUGEES

WHO ARE PALESTINE REFUGEES?

Palestine refugees are defined as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict.”

UNRWA services are available to all those living in its area of operations who meet this definition, who are registered with the Agency and who need assistance. The descendants of Palestine refugee males, including adopted children, are also eligible for registration. When the Agency began operations in 1950, it was responding to the needs of about 750,000 Palestine refugees. Today, some 5 million Palestine refugees are eligible for UNRWA services.

WHERE DO PALESTINE REFUGEES LIVE?

Nearly one-third of the registered Palestine refugees, more than 1.5 million individuals, live in 58 recognized Palestine refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

A Palestine refugee camp is defined as a plot of land placed at the disposal of UNRWA by the host government to accommodate Palestine refugees and set up facilities to cater to their needs. Areas not designated as such and are not recognized as camps. However, UNRWA also maintains schools, health centres and distribution centres in areas outside the recognized camps where Palestine refugees are concentrated, such as Yarmouk, near Damascus.

The plots of land on which the recognized camps were set up are either state land or, in most cases, land leased by the host government from local landowners. This means that the refugees in camps do not 'own' the land on which their shelters were built, but have the right to 'use' the land for a residence.

Socioeconomic conditions in the camps are generally poor, with high population density, cramped living conditions and inadequate basic infrastructure such as roads and sewers.

RESPONSIBILITY OF UNRWA IN CAMPS

The responsibility of UNRWA in Palestine refugee camps is limited to providing services and administering its installations. The Agency does not own, administer or police the camps, as this is the responsibility of the host authorities.

UNRWA has a camp services office in each camp, which the residents visit to update their records or to raise issues relating to Agency services with the Camp Services Officer (CSO). The CSO, in turn, refers refugee concerns and petitions to the UNRWA administration in the area in which the camp is located.

1967 HOSTILITIES

In the aftermath of the hostilities of June 1967 and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, ten camps were established to accommodate a new wave of displaced persons, both refugees and non-refugees.

CITIES AND TOWNS

The remaining two thirds of registered Palestine refugees live in and around the cities and towns of the host countries, and in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, often in the environs of official camps. While most of UNRWA's installations such as schools and health centres are located in the Palestine refugee camps, a number are outside; all of the Agency’s services are available to all registered Palestine refugees, including those who do not live in the camps.

The old brick house that sits on top of the hill was built during the Civil War. IN THIS SENTENCE Select the adjective clause?

kaheart [24]

In the sentence that goes "The old brick house that sits on top of the hill was built during the Civil War", the adjective clause would be "that sits on top of the hill".

Adjective clauses function as adjectives to the subject which gives more detail on what the sentence is talking about. Sometimes it can be found in the beginning, or in the end of the sentence, but usually is it found in the middle of the subject and the predicate which is more convenient for writers and readers. In this case, the identified adjective clause which is "that sits on top of the hill" talks more about the old brick house and answers the question which one.

1. List specific ways in which the spellings differ from current ones.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer to question 1:

The spellings differ in the paragraph in the sense that they were adapted so that the word would "look the way it sounds". For instance, we currently spell "together" and not "togeather" since the letter "a" does not represent any phoneme and, as a consequence, is not absolutely necessary for the word to be read and pronounced properly.

The same happens in many other cases in the excerpt - wisdom X wisdome; halfe X half; difficulte X difficult; equal X equall; own X owne.

There are also words that have been transformed greatly, such as is the case of "espetialy", which was adapted to "especially". This word comes from old Latin, when the letter "t", if used before the letter "i", sounded like a "c". Hence, the transformation.

Answer to question 2:

As for the punctation, we can first address how often the ";" is used where, nowadays, we would most certainly use a "."

For example:

But that which was most sadd and lamentable was, that in 2 or 3 moneths time halfe of their company dyed, espetialy in Jan: and February, being the depth of winter, and wanting houses and other comforts: being infected with the scurvie and other diseases, which this long voiage and their inacomodate condition had brought upon them; so as ther dyed some times 2 or 3 of a day . . . ; that of 100 and odd persons, scarce 50 remained. - This sort of punctation makes the structured idea longer.

We can also note the use of ":" to abbreviate the word January in the excerpt above.

Answer to question 3:

This paragraph is describing the challenges colonists had to face when settling in Plymouth Colony. As often happened at the time and as a consequence of the tough conditions, colonists began to complain and many of them fell sick and died. The very few ones who did not suffer from health issues very bravely and willingly worked even harder in order to help the others.
