Nahr el Bared er en flyktningleir for palestinere ti km nord for Tripoli i det nordlige Libanon, nær kystveien. Leiren ble opprettet av Røde Kors i 1949 for palestinere fra området rundt Huleh-sjøen i Galilea; UNWRA overtok administrasjonen året etter.

Navnet

Leiren har fått navn etter elva Nahr el-Bared («Den kalde elva») som munner ut i Middelhavet like sør for den.

Historikk (utdrag)

Status i 2005

Leiren hadde drøyt 24 000 beboere i 2005, og i tillegg hadde Tripoli da ca. 10 000 palestinske flyktninger registrert av FNs hjelpeorganisasjon UNRWA.

Ødeleggelse i 2007 og tiår med gjenoppbygging

I 2007 ble leiren rasert i kampene mellom den libanesiske hæren og islamistgruppen Fatah al-Islam. UNRWA besluttet å gjenoppbygge leiren, men prosessen trakk i langdrag, og i 2024 er gjenoppbyggingen fortsatt ikke fullført.
