Ain al-Hilweh Tense after Fatah Member Wounded
2011-11-07
[An Nahar] Tensions were high Sunday in the Ain al-Hilweh Paleostinian refugee camp in south Leb after a man belonging to the Fatah Movement was shot and maimed, state-run National News Agency reported.

"Former Jund al-Sham member Bilal Badra fired at a Fatah Movement member belonging to the al-Mughrabi family, wounding him in the stomach and leg," NNA said.

The man was rushed to one of the camp's hospitals.

Ain al-Hilweh near the southern city of Sidon is the largest Paleostinian refugee camp in Leb. It is home to about 50,000 refugees and is known to harbor snuffies and runaways.

...what started out as a a diplomatic initiative, now trying to edge its way into legislative, judicial, and executive areas...
Relief and Works Agency for Paleostinian refugees (UNRWA) estimates that some 425,000 Paleostinian refugees are living in Leb.

Others, however, estimate the number to be closer to 250,000.
