It was originally [[France|French]] army barracks, but in 1948 refugees from the [[1948 Arab-Israeli war|Palestine war]] found shelter there. In 1952, [[UNRWA]] took over responsibility for providing services in the camp. As of 2003, there are 7,553 registered refugees in the camp. ==See also== * [[Palestinian refugee camps]] ==External links and references== *http://www.un.org/unrwa/refugees/lebanon/wavel.html *http://www.education.mcgill.ca/wavel/wavel.html * [http://www.un.org/unrwa/refugees/lebanon/images/wavell.jpg Photos from Wavel] {{Palestinian refugee camps}} [[Category:Settlements established in 1948]] [[Category:Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon]] {{Lebanon-geo-stub}} [[no:Wavell]]
