This is the story of Shateela camp and its people, the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, one of the most vulnerable communities in a country torn apart by perpetual political anarchy and cruel violence. Drawing on oral history, it presents a compelling portrait of their experience of warÑattack and aggression, bombings, abductions, executions and massacresÑhow they organized their own defence and survival, and how they related to one another during their successive crises.
