Rachidiye refugee camp


Rashidieh Camp or Al Rashidiya is a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, located south of the city of Tyre (Sur). In 2006 it had about 18,000 residents. The camp’s physical landscape signifies the growth of Palestinian nationalism in refugee camps. Palestinians express their hope to return to their homes by displaying murals, posters and flags which clearly portrays their attempts to produce and reproduce Palestinian national identity. It borders the Tyre Coast Reserve.
