After the cold Norwegian spring we arrive in Palestine, hot weather and strong security checking in the airport. After 20 minutes of a lot of question we were out and the taxi was waiting for us. From Tel Aviv to Deheishe the feeling was 35; degrees in hard and dry desert. On the way we changed the car for security reasons, from the regular taxi to a personal car: a dark van with smoked windows. From the very beginning we realized that the situation in the area and also the obstacles to enter and live in Palestinian Authority are made difficult.
Arriving in Deheishe our first feeling wasn’t like arriving in a typically refugee camp (people living in tends). Deheishe is a slum of refugees from 45 villages in the occupied Palestinian territory. Deheishe refugee camp is located in West Bank Palestine, near Bethlehem. This camp was established in 1949 on less than 1square kilometer of land leased from Jordan government. After 60 years the population increased to approximately 50.000 people and also the size of the camp, nowadays the camp has between 1 and 1.5 square kilometers.
