| Attack on Maslakh-Karantina camp | Lebanese Kataeb Party, National Liberal Party (NLP) |
The Kataeb and PNL militias launched an attack on the Maslakh-Karantina area, bombing it with mortar shells. About 30,000 people inhabited the camp, including 13,000 Lebanese Shi’as, as well as Palestinian, Armenian, and Kurd refugees, besides the Palestinian armed groups. On January 19, they raided the area, going from house to house, shooting those who tried to escape. The number of casualties varies according to different sources; from 600 to 1,000 to 1,500. A number of survivors reportedly said that the Palestinian fighters in the camp were preventing noncombatants from escaping. At least 20,000 civilians were evacuated towards Tel al-Zaatar, Nabaa and West Beirut. |
