The Swedish Documentation Center (Ajyal) issued an encyclopedia of Palestinian refugee camps entitled “Palestinian Camps in Syria”.
The encyclopedia, prepared by Palestinian journalist and researcher Ahmad Mustafa AlBash, seeks to document Palestinian camps in UNRWA’s five fields of operations (West Bank, Gaza Strip, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon) through narrative accounts shedding light on the historical background of the camps along with the socio-economic conditions experienced by the refugees. Live testimonies by displaced refugees also figure in the 248-page work.
Researcher Ahmad AlBash said the five-part encyclopedia is the by-product of exhaustive research that lasted for several years. It covers the socio-historical frames and specificities of 15 camps set up for Palestinian refugees in Syria. Other parts of the work are slated to be published in coming months.
