Victims of the Sabra and Shatila massacre remembered
Palestinians at Lebanon’s Sabra and Shatila refugee camps

SURVIVORS of the 1982 massacre of Palestinians at Lebanon’s Sabra and Shatila refugee camps remembered the dead in a moving ceremony at the burial site today, vowing to continue their resistance.

Flowers were laid at the gathering, which took place on the site where thousands of Palestinians were buried in a mass, unmarked grave.

Fatima,who lost several members of her family during the three-day killing spree, said that the “culture of impunity” that allows Israel to carry out atrocities without recourse must come to an end.
