CPOY 72 International Picture Story Award of Excellence: Childhood in Shatila

Some might remember the name Shatila. A refugee camp located in Beirut where a lot of people were killed in 1982. Today there is no police to be seen inside the camp, and it is the citizens themselves, who tries to maintain order. But the everyday life is dominated by drugdealers, gangs and fighting in streets. Shatila is a place where children grow up.

In 1982 there was a massacre in Shatila. Christian Phalanges slaughtered between 800 to 3500 people. During that time, the Israeli military allegedly stood 200 meters away from the camp and did nothing. "Sabra & Shatila 1982, never forget" tags appears around the camp.
