Cherie's Jordan: The Palestinian Refugee Story |
Join me on my internship experience with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. (Photo Cred: Rawan Da'as) |
First Place: Hadeel Al Ramli, 23 years old. Gaza, Palestine
This photo work documents the daily life of female prisoners in Gaza Central Prison. It aims to show the relationship between them and the police officers. Most of them were accused of robbery and prostitution, caused by extreme poverty and the deteriorating social situation resulting from the Gaza Blockade.
Second Place: Kholoud Al Jarma, 24 years old. Aida Camp, Bethlehem, Palestine.
Three generations or more of refugees live in Aida refugee camp today on the same space rented by UNRWA over a half century ago. From the windows of our small houses we see overcrowding, walls, dark, narrow alleys and children playing in the streets.
Third Place: Abdul Rahman Abu Lahan, 25 years old. Damascus, Syria.
