Talbieh Camp

Talbieh camp was one of the six "emergency" camps set up in 1968 for
5,000 Palestine refugees and displaced persons who left the West Bank
and Gaza Strip as a result of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Unlike the
other camps in Jordan, Talbieh's inhabitants were mainly displaced
persons. Talbieh was set up on an area of about 130,000 square metres,
35 km south of Amman. Tents were donated by the Iranian Red Lion and Sun
Society, who later replaced them with concrete shelters.
