In the early 1990s, the West Bank was a focal point of tension, marked by the Israeli occupation and the ongoing First Intifada (1987–1993). Life in Palestinian refugee camps was harsh and fraught with challenges. Overcrowding and poverty defined these camps, where families lived in cramped homes of cinderblock or corrugated metal. Israeli military presence was pervasive, with frequent raids, curfews, and checkpoints that restricted movement and disrupted daily life. Youth-led protests and stone-throwing clashes symbolized resistance, often met with tear gas, arrests, and violence. Despite adversity, the Palestinian spirit endured, with communities relying on solidarity, education, and steadfastness.
