12 Palestines: Lebanon's Forgotten Palestinians
March 05, 2011
The greatest number of Palestinian refugee camps in the Middle East exists in Lebanon, a small country battling its own internal demons. Since 1948, this exiled community swelled to 400,000 or roughly 10% of Lebanon's population. As the fourth generation of Palestinian refugees is raised on Lebanese soil with dreams of returning to Palestine, they still struggle to survive in the complex web of official Lebanese restrictions; restrictions depriving them of their basic social, economic and human rights, like right to work, to own property, to travel without restrain.
Featuring rare historical footage, interviews with Palestinian factions leaders, UN workers and ordinary citizens, 'Twelve Palestines' brings you inside the lives of the inhabitants the 12 permanent Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon and examines the political deadlock in which these Palestinian refugees have remained for more than 60 years.
