Collective Action
Ain al-Hilweh residents protest aid survey
Local residents of south Lebanon’s Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp criticized studies conducted to provide compensation for damage caused by heavy fighting in 2017. The survey committee – made up of representatives from U.N. Palestinian aid agency UNRWA, Developmental Action without Borders and the Norwegian Refugee Council – was formed to find and approve beneficiaries for compensation for damage resulting from recent rounds of intense fighting in the south Lebanon camp. Much of the compensation is coming from money given by the European Commission and the Japanese Government who gave $3 million in November.
