_First Division._--One hundred and thirty-five Bedouins from the East
and the Sinai peninsula, and civilians coming from El Arish; 9 Arab
soldiers of the Ottoman army; 5 Turkish soldiers from Syria; 30
Egyptians.


_Second Division._--One hundred and seventy-five Senoussi and soldiers
from Tripoli; 185 Bedouins from the West, and civilian prisoners of
divers nationalities.

Among these prisoners are included several young boys who have relatives
among the interned. The characteristic of this camp is the diversity of
nationalities herein represented. Though the number of Turks is
restricted, we thought it wise to visit this camp in order to assure
ourselves that the treatment of the prisoners is the same as in other
Egyptian camps.

The camp commandant is Colonel Collins.

The camp is surrounded by a barbed wire fence.

The prisoners are lodged under canvas, 8 men to a tent. At the present
time two great barracks of timber framework and reeds are being erected,
each large enough to contain 250 men. Their dimensions ensure perfect
ventilation. The sandy soil shows no trace of damp. Between the tents
little gardens are laid out wherein, thanks to the abundant water, the
prisoners can grow flowers and vegetables.
