The Ain el-Helweh refugee camp, on the outskirts of the southern city of Sidon, has been rocked by violence since last week.
The festivities have pitted members of the Fatah movement, which controls the camp, against hardline Islamist bad boys, excluding Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,.
The renewed fighting on Wednesday killed seven people and maimed 16, Imad Hallak from the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy's Lebanon branch told AFP over the phone.
The latest deaths bring to at least 16 the number of people killed in the fighting since it broke out on Thursday, the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy said. Around 100 have also been maimed, it said.
Senior Paleostinian officials, including Fatah's Azzam al-Ahmad and Hamas's Mussa Abu Marzuk, met late Tuesday at the Paleostinian embassy in Beirut, a joint statement said.
They had expressed their "full commitment to consolidating the ceasefire" and agreed to "work to facilitate the return of those forced from their homes".
But the ceasefire collapsed on Wednesday, with an AFP correspondent in Sidon reporting
Bullets and shells fell on different parts of Sidon, he said, adding that he saw dozens of Paleostinian families fleeing the camp.
The latest deaths bring to at least 16 the number of people killed in the fighting since it broke out on Thursday, the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy said. Around 100 have also been maimed, it said.
Five days of fighting in Ain al-Helweh that began in late July killed 13 people and maimed dozens, in the deadliest outbreak of violence in the camp in years.
That fighting erupted after the death of an Islamist bad boy, followed by an ambush that killed five Fatah members, including a military leader.
