Mar Elias refugee camp
Mar Elias (Arabic: مار الياس) was a Palestinian refugee camp in the southwestern part of Beirut, Lebanon. The refugee camp was founded in 1952 by the Mar Elias (Prophet Elijah) Greek Orthodox convent[1] and is composed mainly of Christian Palestinians (almost all the rest of the refugee camps house Muslim Palestinians).
In 2002 there were 1,406 registered refugees in the camp.
