Dr. Chris Giannou is a Canadian surgeon who, with one other doctor and only a few nurses, ran a hospital in the refugee camp of Shatila, in West Beirut. From October 1985 to January 1988, the camp was under siege and endured everything from sniper fire to heavy artillery. This is Giannou's account of those years, the suffering and resilience of the refugees, and their daily endurance.
