Mandatory Palestine
At the beginning of the Mandate period, in the 1922 census of Palestine, Acre had 6,420 residents: 4,883 of whom were Muslim; 1,344 Christian; 102 Baha'i; 78 Jewish and 13 Druze.[25] The British Mandate government reconstructed Acre, and its economic situation improved.[citation needed] The 1931 census counted 7,897 people in Acre, 6076 Muslims, 1523 Christians, 237 Jews, 51 Baha'i and 10 Druse.[26] In 1946 Acre's population numbered around 13,000.
In the 1947 UN Partition Plan, Acre was designated part of a future Arab state.
During the 1948 War, Acre was besieged by Israeli forces. A typhoid fever outbreak occurred in Acre at this time. According to the Red Cross archives, an emergency meeting held at the Lebanese Red Cross hospital in Acre concluded that the infection was water borne, not due to crowded or unhygienic conditions.[30] Brigadier Beveridge, chief of the British medical services, Colonel Bonnet of the British army, and delegates of Red Cross were present in this meeting. Beveridge proclaimed at the time that "Nothing like that ever happened in Palestine". According to anti-Zionist historian Ilan Pappé, even the guarded language of Red Cross reports points to outside poisoning as the sole explanation of the outbreak
Acre was captured by Israel on 17 May 1948,[32] displacing about three-quarters of the Arab population of the city
