Bared Camp refugee storms into UNRWA office in Beddawi

A refugee from Nahr al Bared Camp who has taken shelter in Beddawi Camp since 2007 stormed into the office of UNRWA in Beddawi along with his family members and closed it down, NNA field correspondent reported on Friday.


Mohammad Khalil took these desperate measures after his name was taken off the list of those benefiting from monthly rent payments by UNRWA to families who lost their homes during the Nahr al Bared clashes.


Khalil and his children placed a mattress and covers in the middle of the UNRWA office along with some possessions he brought from his home. Contacts were underway to add his name again to the list.
