A day in the life of Jouri

Jouri is a 19 years old Palestine refugee girl from Ein el-Hilweh camp located in Saida city, south of Lebanon. She was brought up in Ein el-Hilweh, but a few years ago her family moved outside the camp to an apartment in a quiet neighbourhood in the suburbs of Saida that is 15 minutes away from the camp. Jouri’s parents, and especially her father, were afraid for the safety of their children in the camp. The camp is notorious for its continuous violent clashes between the different Palestinian factions and the increasing prevalence of violence and drugs among the youth. However, Jouri still goes to the camp almost every day to attend an UNRWA school located inside Ein el-Hilweh and all her friends still live in the camp.
