Over 53000 Palestinian refugees from Syria have sought safety and shelter from the ongoing conflict in that country by fleeing to Lebanon. However even Lebanon is becoming an increasingly desperate option.
Palestinian refugees from Syria in Lebanon live in extremely bleak conditions and are often overlooked by the international community.
Their reality is harsh:
•Most families live with more than 10 people crammed into a single room.
•Palestinians from Syria are not allowed to work in Lebanon.
•Only 6% of Palestinian refugees from Syria ages 15-18 are in school.
•They suffer from hunger cold and illness in pre-existing camps already lacking resources.
•Palestinians must renew expensive visas every 3 months to be eligible for services.
