AMMAN—Fifty-four girls orphan-
ed by the continuing conflict in the
Middle East are being housed at a
Holy Home School founded here by
a Libyan shoe manufacturer. The
girls are children of El Fatah
fighters.
Baba Yussef, the donor, said he
established the home because the

the true revolution; it interferes
