Sadness of survivors

Those lucky enough to have lived tell consistent tale of death camps — The Gazette, 27 September 1982
The Gazette · 27 September 1982

Transcribed from the clipping

Survivors of Sabra and Chatilla had to be either lucky or smart... She is full of anger. It is focused specifically on the Israelis, even though they did no killing, also on the Americans, the French and the Italians, the providers of the multinational force who went away and left the Palestinians to their fate, and on U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Israeli Prime Minister Begin personally. 'That's my home,' said one old woman, waving her hand at a pile of rubble two-and-a-half metres high among some blasted trees. 'I'm not sad for my house. I'm sad for all the people who died.'
