Description of the missing person
Hesham was tall and had a beautiful face. He had dark eyes and smooth hair. He was sometimes a bit short-tempered and intense, but everyone loved him. He was the father of three children and their only provider. Hesham was known for the tattoo on his hand and for his close relationship with his brother Mohammad, who respected him very much. His dream was to return to his beloved homeland of Palestine.
Circumstances of the Disappearance
On the evening of November 18th, 1991, Hesham went to his mother’s home in Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp in Sidon to put his car keys there. While he was in the house, someone called to him from outside, and he went out and didn’t return. Hesham was often late, so that evening when he didn’t come home, his wife thought that he was still at his mother’s place. The next morning, Hesham’s wife asked his mother about him, and she realized that he hadn’t stayed at his mother’s house. Hesham’s wife and family became worried about him because he hadn’t returned or contacted them.
