The largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, Ein el-Hilweh, has seen violence between Palestinian factions since July 29, resulting in 12 deaths and more than 60 injuries.
A cease-fire between the Palestinian groups in the camp was declared to have been struck on July 31 through the mediation of Lebanese parties.
However, occasionally still, armed clashes continue between the factions.
According to the United Nations Organization for Palestinian Refugees, Ein el-Hilweh is the largest of 12 Palestinian camps in Lebanon, hosting up to 250,000 Palestinian refugees countrywide.
