12 kilometres east of #Beirut, on a hill overlooking the Beirut-Tripoli highway, the #Dbayeh refugee camp hosts mainly Christian Palestinian refugees, some descended from the original group displaced from Galilee in 1948. Four generations, all stateless to this day. More recently, the camp has been welcoming refugees from Syria.
Due to its strategic location, the camp suffered a great deal of violence during the Lebanese civil war. In 1990 alone, a quarter of its shelters were destroyed or severely damaged, and several families found themselves displaced once again. Today’s residents live in economic hardship and many are unemployed. A few men find work as casual labourers, and some youngsters serve in shops or as cleaners.
Impasse, a photodocumentary by #Johanna_Mifsud, offers a glimpse at the life of ordinary people inside the Dbayeh camp. Taken in the summer of 2008, the collection and commentary are available in the form of a photobook.
