Nahr el Bared er en flyktningleir for palestinere ti km nord for Tripoli i det nordlige Libanon, nær kystveien.[1] Leiren ble opprettet av Røde Kors i 1949[1] for palestinere fra området rundt Huleh-sjøen i Galilea; UNWRA overtok administrasjonen året etter.

Leiren har fått navn etter elva Nahr el-Bared («Den kalde elva») som munner ut i Middelhavet like sør for den.

Status i 2005

[rediger | rediger kilde]

Leiren hadde drøyt 24 000 beboere i 2005, og i tillegg hadde Tripoli da ca. 10 000 palestinske flyktninger registrert av FNs hjelpeorganisasjon UNRWA.

Ødeleggelse i 2007 og tiår med gjenoppbygging

[rediger | rediger kilde]

I 2007 ble leiren rasert i kampene mellom den libanesiske hæren og islamistgruppen Fatah al-Islam.[2][1] UNRWA besluttet å gjenoppbygge leiren, men prosessen trakk i langdrag, og i 2024 er gjenoppbyggingen fortsatt ikke fullført.[1]

[---] The destruction of Nahr el-Bared camp in 2007 led to the loss of the houses and properties of the Palestinian community. Over 27,000 Palestine refugees were forced to abandon their houses. The UNRWA compound housing the Agency’s health centre, schools and relief office was also completely destroyed. More than a decade later, much of the community remains uprooted and continues to rely heavily on assistance from UNRWA.»

Besøkt 15. desember 2024. «In mid-2007 the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp near Tripoli was destroyed by the Lebanese Army battling an insurgent Islamist group, Fatah al-Islam. Displacing about 30,000 Palestinian refugees, it was one of the largest internal battles in post-civil war Lebanon. A decade later, the camp has yet to be fully rebuilt; indeed, reconstruction has been slow, confictual, and underfunded. Rebuilding the camp has been contested and delayed by political opposition, funding shortfalls, and complex ownership of land and property. About half of the displaced families have been able to return, the remainder are internally displaced, living temporarily in other camps or rented apartments.»
