SUEZ AND REFUGEES SIR,—The tragedy of the hungry and homeless

never seems to stop. Last week the appalling decision taken by the Egyptian Government to expel thousands of people who have lived for years in Egypt underlined the fact that there were already one million Arab refugees from the 1948 Arab-Israel conflict to whom must be added thousands who have been rendered homeless and hungry by recent armed action. I believe there are many who feel that something must be done to help. The Director of the Inter-Church Aid and Refugee Service, 10 Eaton Gate, London, SWI, has the organisational facilities and is able to send money through Geneva to help the victims of war in Egypt and the Gaza strip. As, how- ever, the Inter-Church Aid and Refugee Service is at present overwhelmed with Hungarian donations I am willing to receive and acknow- ledge money sent to me at the House of Commons.—Yours faithfully,
