Artifacts of exile
Artifacts belonging to some of the original refugees who fled what was then Palestine during the Arab-Israeli hostilities of 1947 and 1948. They are displayed in what is Shatila's only museum, created by Mohammed Al Khatib, 63, a doctor and former resident of the camp. Over seven years of collecting, Al Khatib has amassed more than 900 items, including a door key from the Palestinian village of Khalsa and a miniature ship that had been kept and repaired by the friends of a sailor in his memory.
