Click here to view the true extent of the damage on Nahr Al Bared
Over the course of 4 months of fighting, the Nahr el Bared Palestinian refugee camp (home to 25,000 people) was heavily bombed and its infrastructure destroyed. The Lebanese Army declared victory mid-September, but the camp’s residents (and so far only 200 families) weren’t allowed to return until October 9. They returned to mass devastation; entire neighborhoods are no longer recognizable. Not all the houses were destroyed; those that remain standing were vandalized, looted and burnt.

Without protection, and without a state to appeal to or a government to care for them, the Palestinians of Nahr el Bared are restarting life from nothing - From Nahr Al Bared Campaign

 

What Would You Do?

 

  • What would you do if you were to return home to find that somebody else lived there?
  • What would you do if the government decided that they wanted the land that your home is on?
  • What support mechanisms would be available to you, and who would you expect support from?
