Moving to al-Bared

10 months later. The Palestinian refugees from Nahr al-Bared camp in northern Lebanon pack up their things at the UN schools where they've ben living and head back to Nahr al-Bared. With their homes destroyed, they now have to move into UNRWA built one-room corrugated tin housing until a plan is in place to rebuild their homes. It was a joyous day to return to al-Bared, but many were visibly upset that their community is being changed and will split for the second time in less than a year.
Kids waiting while the grown folks carry everything into the trucks. That first boy in the picture was so frikin' cute! He did not stop laughing for like 20 min straight! He probably went on after I left too!
