Title	Young girl and her little sister sitting near their home in the Mellah (Jewish quarter)
Reference Code	NY_16933
Description	A 12 year old girl and her little sister typify the younger generation of Jews growing up in the quarters of Morocco. Both have received help from the AJDC which subvents local dispensaries, health organizations and school systems. Yet conditions in the Mellah are still frightful as illustrated by the bottles and rags surrounding the children - the objects are sold in the city to supplement the meager income their parents make in the never-ending efforts to make a decent living
