Des milliers de réfugiés fuient le camp Nahr el Bared pour se diriger vers des maisons hors du camp, les écoles UNRWA et le camp de réfugiées Badawi. Il y a un manque sévère de provisions. Présentement, la Campagne de soutien de Nahr el Bared – qui était mis à pied par des ami-e-s de Tadamon! – travaille afin de coordonner ses efforts avec les ONG d’aide humanitaire à Beyrouth qui montent au Nord du Liban pour aider les réfugiés.
Tripoli, Lebanon. Wearing a beat-up ratty UNCHR tee-shirt left over from Bint Jbeil and the Israeli-Hezbollah July probably helped.

BEDDAWI, 23 May 2007 (IRIN) – At least 10,000 Palestinians from Nahr al-Bared refugee camp in northern Lebanon have fled to neighbouring Beddawi camp following a lull in fighting between the Lebanese army and Islamist militants, according to an official in one of the schools over-run with an influx of displaced people.
For days, the Nahr el Bared Palestinian Refugee Camp has been under heavy attacks from the Lebanese Army, attacks that did not spare civilians that have absolutely no relationship with ‘Fateh el Islam.’ The undersigned condemn this indiscriminate bombing that targets one of the most important reservoirs of the Palestinian resistance.
Under the shadow of the current events, we wish to register our stand as concerned individuals. We stand in condemnation of the brutal, excessive spilling of blood in the Nahr el Bared camp; we stand in solidarity with the steadfastness of the Palestinian refugees under fire in the camp; we stand with heads bowed in sorrow for the martyrs who have so far fallen.
We ask you to stand with us during our candlelit vigil against the outrageous violence.
