Ain el-Hilweh is the biggest of 12 Palestinian camps in Lebanon, where late leader Yasser Arafat's fighters were a main faction in the civil war that erupted in 1975. The UN says there are 45,000 registered refugees in the camp near the southern city of Sidon but residents put the number much higher.

Five guys in four months out of a population of 45,000? Multiply that by 12 camps and you have 60 guys in four months, or 240 guys in a year. Out of a population of 540,000. That's a partipation ratio of .04% of the population.
