Palestinians 'stranded' in Iraq refugee camp - 20 June 09
- 12 years ago
The creation of the state of Israel in 1948 triggered an exodus of millions of Palestinian refugees across the Middle East, including a community who found refuge in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
But facing persecution from Iraqi militias after the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, many Palestinians fled to the Al Waleed refugee camp near the Iraqi-Syrian border.
As Al Jazeera's Nisreen El Shamayleh reports, these refugees say they now live in "horrendous" conditions.
