Wilfrid Coad Thomas AO (1904-1991) was a British-born singer and broadcaster, who had a significant career in Australia with the ABC, and in the UK with the BBC. In this 1968 recording, Thomas interviews Leila Deeb from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), as part of a program on Jordan. Deeb highlights the impact of the Six-Day War and Naksa, which resulted in the displacement of around 300,000 Palestinians from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, adding to the ~750,000 refugees and displaced Palestinians from the 1948 Palestine War and Nakba.
