In this 1968 photo from the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA, archive, Palestinian refugees have just arrived in east Jordan in a continuing exodus of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip. 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. The distances on the partially obscured signboard read "Jericho 8 km, Jerslm (Jerusalem) 43 km." (AP Photo/G.Nehmeh, UNRWA Photo Archives)
