Over 726 Palestinian families from Syria sheltered in Ein Al-Hilweh Camp, to the east of the southern Lebanese city of Sidon, have been overwrought with the bloody strife rocking the shelter on a sporadic basis.
On Wednesday, January 25, an exchange of gunfire between armed militias in Al-Zeib neighborhood took away the life of the Palestinian refugee Ahmad Qassim and left five others wounded.
The situation culminated in a state of lawlessness and lack of security, to which hundreds of Palestinian children, women, and elderly refugees have been subjected in Ein Al-Hilweh shelter.
Several socio-economic and health facilities also shut their doors as a result of the unabated tension that has been running high in the area.
