He was the first mediator in the conflict between Palestine and Israel. In 1950, the UN began its work to help the Palestinian refugees. UNRWA was established for this effort, which was expected to last a few months. Today, UNWRA still exists. Head of UNWRA in the West Bank was Gun-Britt Andersson, now State Secretary at the Ministry of Social Affairs. We follow her on various missions in Gaza, Jericho and Jerusalem. Written by
