A building peppered with bullet holes from the 2nd Intifada.
A boy walks past a war torn wall.
The hand prints of a child smeared on an alley street.
A woman passes the day sitting on a street corner.

Toulkarem Refuge Camp
Posters and paintings of martyrs plaster almost every wall as you enter what is obviously Toulkarem refugee camp. Bullet holes and tank shells still paint the buildings from the 2nd Intifada. This camp holds around 25,000 people and is one of two camps outside of Toulkarem city. Streets are only slightly wider than shoulder width. Several families cram together and live in rooms as small as 14’ - 10’, which makes canned sardines look free range. Like refugee camps all over the world, there is no guarantee of safety or a future for its inhabitants. These are a few photographs of their life and the world they live in.
