Living in the dark as a Palestinian Refugee

 It's no surprise that in country in as much financial difficulty as Lebanon, that the people who have the least amount of rights have the least amount of anything, including basics such as safe street lighting and regular power. It's not possible to just simply step out of your front and walk safely to friends, or relatives or the shops at night. Even when there is power (which is sporadic and infrequent) there are very few areas of the alleyways and passages that are well lit. 

If you are lucky you will pass a house that has left a light outside, that light will have been provided for by the house owner at their own expense. As you can see from the video filmed by one of our team on the camp of Ein Il Helweh, you are taking a risk just by going out after it gets dark. 


Remember to take a torch

We have many things we would like to do on the camp, help sort the refuse out, power, health issues but one of the simple things we could do is to help provide decent lighting for some of the alleyways. 

With your help we can work towards this.

  This young boy bids farewell to his brother; as a matter of fact, he is saying see you soon after the whole world has failed to protect and save them from the prison of Gaza, where they were born and murdered. This is one of the many prisons made by the zionists inside occupied Palestine; it is considered the worst. It is horrible that all they could see behind the prison's wall was the zionist army, which kept causing destruction, murder, maiming and devastation inside Gaza and the lives of the Palestinians for 75 years.

Drowning in a Sea of Rubbish

 The refuse problem has always been an issue on the Palestinian Refugee camps, but recently it's been getting worse and worse. If you step outside the camps and into Lebanon itself you will see that there is a general issue with rubbish, there are very few collections and it really does pile up everywhere, but on the camps, there is no where else for it to go so it is piling up and is starting to cause massive health risks.  The smell is unbearable, the piles are drawing pests and swarms of insects and flies and it won't be long until there is a serious health problem on the camps. UNRWA does what it can but they seem oblivious to what is going on regarding this serious issue.  An incinerator on the camps would be ideal, not only would it deal with the waste issue but it would generate much needed electricity to meet the shortfall on the camps and make them more self sufficient.  This video gives you more of an impression as to what the actuality is on the camps.

Palestinian lives do not matter for Helen Mirren.

Helen Mirren, Another Murder. Without humanity and no sense of justice, Palestinians' lives do not matter to Dame Helen Mirren.   Helen, have you forgotten British history? Specifically, the first of killing the Palestinians and selling of their land to the Zionists? A woman with your history would not mind it; you will enjoy it just like the wicked witch of the West that you are! You add your name to the list of evil people by demonising a victim's history. She has the vicarious pleasure of killing Palestinians at the hands of the Zionists, and as we know, Zionism is a political ideology anyone can adopt any race, nationality, or belief. With your statement, you make yourself a non-human person; yes, you are anthropoidal, but you are a human without humanity. You and your evil rhetoric are a massive part of our suffering, and we will make sure to keep your name written down in our history books that you are an evil witch, full of hatred and racism. How can you claim to
