ein il hilweh

my father back in 1998 had this cartoon drawn ... about a possible explosion
in Ain il Helwe camp . reading the news today about the camp and the fights that erupted between jund il islam (where do these people spring from ?) and fatah...

here is the cartoon...

Translation( ain il helweh camp)

Ain al-Hilweh (variously, Ayn al-Hilweh, Ein al-Hilweh, etc.; the literal meaning is "eye of beauty") (Arabic: عين الحلوة) is the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon with over 70,000 refugees, located on the outskirts of the port of Sidon.[1] Due to the fact that Lebanese Armed Forces are not allowed to enter the camp Ain al-Hilweh has been called a "zone of unlaw" by the Lebanese media.[2] Many people wanted by the Lebanese government are believed to have taken refuge in the camp as a result of the lack of Lebanese authority.[3]
