From Beirut to Jerusalem by Ang Swee Chai

Launched with a presentation and talk by Dr Ang Swee Chai
at Hotel Singgahsana, Petaling Jaya, 30 November 2002

The book tells the story of Dr Ang Swee Chai, a Penang-born orthopaedic surgeon, and her flight to war-torn Lebanon in 1982 to treat the wounded and dying. This new edition, twenty years after the Zionist terrorism in Shabra and Shatila which killed thousands of Palestinian civilians, is a tribute to the ongoing struggle against Zionist occupation in the Holy Lands.

Dr Ang moved the audience with her 30-minute presentation of photographs she took during her stay in the war-torn areas, and her eyewitness account of the sufferings of the refugees.
