In this Friday, May 17, 2013 photo, an elderly Palestinian refugee woman feeds a baby suffering from heat rash in a house in Gezirat al-Fadel village, Sharqiya, about 150 kilometers (93 miles) east of Cairo, Egypt. As Palestinians around the world recently marked the 65th anniversary of their mass displacement during the war over Israel's 1948 creation, the refugees in Gezirat al-Fadel say they have it worse than others who fled to Jordan, Syria or Lebanon. Unlike the millions who live in refugee camps in those countries the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) does not have offices in Egypt and so does not offer Palestinian refugees in Egypt assistance.

In this photo taken May 13, 2013, President Barack Obama defends his administration's actions in the wake of the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last year, calling Congressional criticism a political sideshow during a joint news conference with visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron, not shown, at the White House in Washington. The night of smoke, chaos, gunfire and grenades that killed four Americans in Benghazi is well-documented. Eight months later, it is the decisions made back in Washington that remain murky and in perpetual dispute. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
