For the fisrt time the palestinian christian from Dbyeih camp , met with Muslim Palestinian refugges from many diffrent camp .Dbyeih camp has been neglected for many years by P.L.O beacuse of political reasons . its rare to find palestinians know about Dbeyeih camp , about 2500 christian palestinian refugges are living in tht camp and its only the chirsitian camp in lebanon .
