In Lebanon the Palestinian refugees issue in the
country still is uncertain. More than 400.000 refugees live in Lebanon
without nationality. Four generations of families live since 1948 in 12
refugee camps all around Lebanon. Now the camps are like poor suburbs in the
mains cities in Lebanon, like Beirut, Tripoli or Tyr. In some cases the
population in the camps is about 80,000 inhabitants, and they can not build
houses outside the camps with the same space since 1948. For this reason the
houses of the refugees are building without any kind of security. Young
people can not have access to the Lebanese society in terms of work or
education. The total number of Palestinians refugees in the
middle east according to UN information can exceed four million people. The
problem of the exiles is left of side in the negotiations between Israel and
the welcome countries of the refugees. The Palestinians refugees continue in
this alone way of exile and, as times goes by they are more unprotected. What
I want to show in my pictures is the conditions of life in the refugees camps
in Lebanon, and still the relation between the place that the refugees are
originally in Palestine and the strong idea of the Palestinians to come back.
