During the period of British rule over the Land of Israel, post offices were established in more than one hundred and thirty settlements all over the country. Some of the post offices were opened in old and established settlements, and others were established in new and sparsely populated settlements that came up on the ground a short time before. One of those settlements was the Arab village of Tarshiha, where a type B postal agency was opened in 1944.

In March 1960, Moroccan Post issued its first charity stamps. The proceeds from the sale of the stamps are intended to treat the victims of the mass poisoning caused by the sale of spoiled cooking oil.
A moving creation by photographer Keren Gilerman Harel paid final respects to Holocaust survivor Dora Dreyblatt. Behind the fascinating photograph featured on the stamp lies an interesting personal story, which represents an extraordinary message of hope and the creation of a new life, despite difficult memories and a terrible past.

A change in the physical condition of the stamp, which reduces its monetary value in the eyes of collectors. An example of such a change could be a stain that disfigures the stamp, a crease in the paper on which it is printed, damage to the perforation around it, or tears in the body of the stamp.
An envelope sent on the island of Trinidad documents an attempt by the local charity to collect donations for the Red Cross during World War I. The course of events turned this activity into a philatelic curiosity.
