On the night of the carnage, we were at home and we heard that there was a massacre at Shatila(....) We kept watch on the road all night, taking turns to sleep a few hours, until daybreak when some people managed to escape. I thought my brother had gone ahead of us to West Beirut. We waited for him but he didn’t come. In fact my brother was one of the ones they took away, and we never even found his body.
Mr Alameh lost his brother, who was 19 years old.
