Thousands of Palestinian families sheltered in Ein AlHilweh Camp, south of Lebanon, have sounded distress signals over the security turmoil rocking the shelter.
On Friday, a round of fresh clashes flared up between the security force in the camp and the remaining members of Jund AlSham and Fatah AlIslam militias. A number of civilians sustained wounds and material damage was wrought on a number of homes, commercial shops, and cars.
Several families fled the camp in the hunt for a safer shelter. At the same time, UNRWA schools along with public and private schools in Sidon shut down their doors.
A statistics-based study conducted by the Union of Islamic Relief Organizations in early 2016 found out that 870 Palestinian families from Syria have been taking cover in Ein AlHiwleh Camp. Recent statistics pointed out that the number has shrunk back to 726 families.
