Reference Code	NY_14735
Description	A potter from Aden hawks his wares in the JDC transit camp for Jewish refugees from Yemen. Camp authorities permitted one or two concessions in the camp to accommodate the needs of Yemenites, who arrive stripped of almost all possessions. By means of slow evaporation from the outside surfaces, the porous clay pots keep drinking water cool despite the blazing desert sun.
