Description:
Shatila, The UNRWA camp is constructed on 40000 square meters. Because of the limited space, constructions have grown up to 6 storeys high.
In the foreground, just below the Sports City, in the Hayy al Gharbi area, is the shantytown of the "Nouriyeh" (gipsies) camp.
Here the dwellings are made of pieces of corrugated iron, scrap wood and sheets of plastic to seal and protect the roofs. Most of the time old tires and stones are used as weights to hold down the improvised roofs. The exterior (and sometimes the interior) walls have hand imprints on them.
