Beirut Electrician Keeps Shatila Camp Dwellers on the Grid
| A sweet human interest story about the man who keeps the "refugee camp" running. Buried in the midst if all that is this interesting paragraph: |
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency says there are some 22,000 Palestinian refugees registered in Shatila, but only about 8,000 live there — comprising around 30 percent of the camp's population. The rest of the residents are a combination of Lebanese, Filipinos, Sri Lankans, and now a large contingent of Syrians who have fled the civil war next door, according to UNRWA.
