In 1948 approximately 750,000 Palestinians were displaced from their homes and more than 200,000 of these refugees came to the newly formed Gaza Strip. Looking at the first years after this displacement, this talk examines humanitarian practice and government services in Gaza, considering how both helped shape ideas about community and citizenship among a population, living in extremely difficult conditions, that was newly divided into “refugees” and “natives.”
