In Lebanon, the Ain Al-Hilwah camp, located in the city of Sidon, witnessed an explosion, followed by gunfire yesterday, causing panic among the residents and the Palestinian-Syrian refugees who were displaced to the camp.
The ongoing security tension and clashes which break out from time to time in the Ain Al-Hilwah camp, have aggravated the suffering of the thousands of Palestinian families living in it, and increased their concerns and fears after fleeing the war in Syria to Lebanon, in search of safety and security.
The Palestinian refugees have expressed their dissatisfaction from the clashes and their sense of insecurity in the Ain Al-Hilwah camp, which generate terrible human and material losses, in addition to the displacement of the residents of the camp and the negative impact on their economic and social lives, as well as the closure of the health and educational institutions.
Field reports have indicated that the number of families have decreased significantly than before. The number of families living in the camp in 2014 were 2500 families, where in 2015 they decreased to 1400 families. In early 2016, the number reached 870 families, and the latest statistics have revealed that there are only 726 Palestinian-Syrian families.
