Jim Jim and Kfar Badda are located in south Lebanon, along the sea coast about 15 km north of the city of Tyre just above the Litany River. They are in the neighborhood of al Kharayeb village. Kfar Badda was the first gathering to be built after the refugees displaced from Palestine in 1948 started to gather there. Around 1955, a second wave of refugees came to settle there. Jim Jim appeared around 1970 and used to be part of Kfar Badda. The highway separated them later on. The land belongs to the refugees except a small area of Kfar Badda owned by a private Lebanese owner.
