Nahr Elbared Refugee Camp
The Sabra and Shatila massacre in Lebanon sure was tragic, however, it was not the last tragedy happening to the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, as refugee camps are often neglected by the Lebanese government, and Lebanese Government Authorities have no right to go inside the camps. That and the inhuman living conditions ranging from shortage of survival elements such as food and water to expected increasing crime rates often result in terrorist cells forming inside the camps, which was the case in Nahr Elbared camp where my family was staying... and after the terrorist attacks against the Lebanese Army officers, the Lebanese Forces had no choice but to invade the camps leaving the Palestinian refugees in the camp homeless and with most of the terrorist group on the run, and the refugees in the camp had to leave to another refugee camp.... this is a link for a video that shows some of the horrible things those refugees.. I chose to discuss this parcticular camp because thats where some of my family members used to live, and so it has huge impact on my life today, anyway these are some of the many challenges the Palestinian refugees are facing trying to stay alive : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyvYKHwC7eU
