Nahr al-Bared is a Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon, which once housed some 30,000 displaced Palestinians. But in May 2007, members of a jihadist group, Fatah al-Islam, hid in the camp after killing several Lebanese soldiers in their sleep. The response from the army was severe. Over a period of 100 days the camp was shelled and cleared - resulting in the worst clashes in Lebanon since the 1975-90 civil war. Nahr al-Bared was almost completely destroyed.
