40 years ago, an Israeli-allied armed group attacked the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon’s capital Beirut.
In June 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon with the stated aim of destroying the PLO.

The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is an umbrella of Palestinian political parties, created in 1964 with the aim of liberating Palestine through armed struggle.
The #PLO withdrew from Lebanon by September 1, 1982, two weeks later, Israeli forces besieged Sabra and Shatila.
They provided cover for a right-wing #Lebanese militia called the #Phalange to carry out the mass killings that continued for 43 hours.
As many as 3,500 people - mostly Palestinians - were killed. Here’s a look at what happened
#Refugees of the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps were victims of the 1948 #Nakba, fleeing the violent ethnic cleansing of Palestine by #Zionist militias as #Israel was formed.
The UN General Assembly passed a resolution declaring the massacre an “act of #genocide”.
Though no one has been held accountable for the crimes of the #Sabra and #Shatila #massacre.

The Wind Portal
As part of the London Design Festival 2013, Lebanese designer, Najla El Zein, created The Wind Portal, a dramatic gateway constructed from 5,000 paper windmills turning in the breeze. This walk-through installation created a playful airway, drawing wind and light into the galleries beyond.
