(FILES)This file picture dated 1969 shows an elderly Palestinian woman refugee crying after she lost her tent in a storm at the Baqaa Agency camp in Jordan. An old Arab adage says God blessed humans with the ability to forget their miseries, but for Palestinian refugees in Jordan bitter memories are part of everyday life. “We have been displaced since 1948. We lost our homes, lands, farms and everything we had,” said Tawfiq Rashid, 81, who has lived with his family in Jordan’s Baqaa camp since the 1967 Middle East war. In 2007, around 90,000 Palestinians now live in Baqaa, the largest of 10 camps in Jordan run by the UN relief agency for refugees UNRWA. Most of them settled here after the six-day war.
