Shatila - Passage to Palestine

From 1985 till 1987 the so called War of the Camps took place in the Palestinian Refugee Camps in Lebanon between the Amal Militia, which was supported by Syria, and the Palestinian resistance. There was barely any news reporting from the camps under siege. Yussuf Ali Naffa, owner of a wedding-video shop in Shatila camp, documented the day-to-day life under siege, the organisation of maintenance in the underground, the fighters, the women in children in the shelters. The destruction. The survival.
