- Nabatieh refugee camp
-
Nabatieh (Arabic: نبطية) was a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon that was destroyed between the years 1982-1991. Most of the population was moved to Ein el-Helweh.
In May and June 1974, the Israeli Air Force bombed the camp and much of the camp was turned to rubble and its population dispersed.
