It includes photographs of the Israeli Occupation practices against the Palestinians, some taken in the course of the late President Yasser Arafat's visit to the refugee camps, and others of the families of shaheeds and prisoners. These photographs were taken between the First Intifada 1987 and the Second Intifada 2000.
