Fifteen years after the bloodbath, the world turns its back
Article Abstract:
The massacre of up to 2,000 Palestinians at the Sabra and Chatila camps in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1982 was greeted with international outrage. There was great pressure for the murderers to be brought to justice, and Israeli Defence Minister Ariel Sharon was removed from his position. However, the international community is now paying no attention at all to the Palestinians who still live in these camps. The Palestinians in Beirut seem to be regarded as non-persons, and do not feature at all in the Oslo peace process.

Beirut slams the door on its 'human garbage.' (Lebanon takes measures against refugees)
Article Abstract:
Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's decision to expel 25,000 Palestinians from Libya, only around 7,000 of whom have Lebanese residence papers, has been turned by Lebanon to its own advantage. Lebanon has allowed 350 of them to enter, but is now banning all Palestinians with Lebanese residence who were outside Lebanon from returning without special visas. This has effectively cut the Palestinian refugee population in Lebanon by almost a third.
