SABRA AND SHATILA MASSACRE SURVIVORS: ‘May those days never come back’
September 17, 2024Today, we remember the Sabra and Shatila massacre that took place in Beirut, killing over 3000, the majority of which were Palestinians.
On 16 September 1982, fighters belonging to the Kataeb party entered the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in Beirut’s southern suburbs.
They were accompanied by their allied Israeli soldiers, who had recently taken west Beirut after Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) fighters had withdrawn.
For three days, under the watch of Israeli soldiers, the Christian militiamen slaughtered men, women and children. The vast majority were Palestinian civilians, but a significant number were people of other nationalities.
In 2022, Middle East Eye spoke to some of the massacre’s survivors. Here is what they recall 👉🏽
