Palestinian refugees in the Tel al-Zaatar camp, a supposed safe haven, were brutally awakened to a horror beyond their worst nightmares. Christian militiamen, fueled by sectarian hatred, stormed the camp, unleashing a massacre that would claim between 1,000 to 3,500 lives. The Lebanese Civil War had already torn the country apart, and this brutal episode would become one of its darkest chapters. The world watched in silence as the atrocities unfolded, a deafening silence that still echoes today.
