The Palestinian catastrophe How Palestinians were expelled from their homes Life in the shadows

People, today we’re in Lebanon. We are outside of Tripoli and about to enter the Palestinian refugee camp where our reporter Alex Pototsky won’t be able to shoot openly, at least at the start. Alex is making his way through the narrow streets into one of the largest camps for Palestinian refugees where reporters are usually not allowed. They are routinely turned away. You have to have a permission for pretty much anything around here, obtained from the local authorities that are mostly autonomous from the Lebanese government. Due to the ongoing armed conflict between the neighboring state of Israel and the Gaza Strip, the situation is even more complicated. Tensions inside the camp have increased causing unrest from time to time. Alex has come there to show you how people live in a refugee camp. In camps like this, there are Palestinians, Syrians and even locals from Lebanon. Today, we’ll see what life is like for people who have lost their homes to war.
