World Refugee Year (UAR Era) - 35 millieme

This highly poignant commemorative stamp was issued in 1960 to mark the United Nations' World Refugee Year (1959–1960 ). The dramatic central design illustrates a displaced mother clutching her child outside a refugee camp tent, her arm outstretched as she points past a barbed-wire fence toward a map silhouette of historic Palestine. Beneath the main title, the composition bears the definitive Arabic inscription "We shall return" (عائدون), expressing a powerful narrative of exile, memory, and the right of return.Issued by the United Arab Republic (UAR / الجمهورية العربية المتحدة) postal authority, this issue integrated the official UN World Refugee Year emblem (hands sheltering a human figure enclosed in a laurel wreath) with a sharp, regional political message. Unlike previous definitive issues that used overprints, this stamp was specifically designed and printed with the bilingual "PALESTINE / فلسطين" designation natively integrated into the layout to focus international attention on the plight of Palestinian refugees from within the Gaza Strip administrative framework.
