French text:Chez les refugies de Palestine les liens de famille sont tres etroits et peu de gens accepteraient de laisser un parent age se debrouiller par ses propres moyens. Mais certains refugies ages n'ont plus personne ou sont trop souffrants pour que leur famille puisse s'occuper d'eux. L'UNRWA contribue a la solution de ce probleme en aidant a placer quelque 250 vieillards dans des foyers. D'autres recoivent une assistance sociale speciale. Sur les deux millions environ de refugies de Palestine immatricules aupres de l' UNRWA, pres de 100,000 sont ages de plus 65 ans et plus de 20,000 ont a plus de 80 ans. Mais le manque de fonds empeche l'office d'en faire plus, malgre que le besoin soit tres grand.French translation: Palestine refugee family ties are very strong and few people are willing to allow an elderly parent to cope on their own. But some older refugees have nowhere to go or are too unwell for their families to care for them. UNRWA contributes to the solution of this problem by helping to place some 250 old people in homes. Others receive special social assistance. Of the approximately two million Palestine refugees registered with UNRWA, nearly 100,000 are aged over 65 years and over 20,000 have more than 80 years. But lack of funds prevents the agency from doing more, despite that the need is very great.
