The Maabarot

Many of the 975,000 Jews expelled from Middle Eastern and North African countries who came to Israel were placed in tent cities called maabarot. Some families lived as long as twenty years in maabarot before moving to regular housing. Here are some scenes of maabarot life in Israel in the early years of the reformed state.
1950 Using tent ropes for hanging clothes.
1952 Carrying water home to a tent

A "model" maabarot before Jewish refugees arrived.
Children at play
Future Israel prime minister, Moshe Kastov, born in Iran, fled to Israel where he grew up in a maabarot near Ashod; his two-month-old brother Zion was drowned when this maabarot was inundated by a rapidly rising flood.
Some families lived as long as twenty years in maabarot before moving to regular housing.

Ramallah a recent image.
