The population shift from Syria, as a result of the Syrian Crisis, is causing enormous pressure on host communities and exacerbating instability factors.

REACH undertook an assessment of host community needs in Akkar Governorate, one of Lebanon’s most underdeveloped regions.

Having limited legal status has direct negative consequences for Syrian refugees’ access to protection and assistance during their stay in Lebanon. Limited legal status also increases the risks of abuse and exploitation. Lebanon is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, hence the limited legal protection for refugees and asylum seekers in Lebanon, although it is bound by the customary law principle of non-refoulement and by the obligations of the human rights treaties which it has signed and which are incorporated into its Constitution. International standards under these obligations...

The entry of Syrian refugees into Lebanon and Jordan has resulted in unprecedented social and economic challenges to both countries.

Over three years after it began, the Syria crisis continues to weigh extremely heavily upon Lebanon. Around a quarter of its population is now made up of refugees, whose needs remain dire even as the resources available to address them appear to be shrinking.

As the Syrian Crisis enters its fourth year, numerous water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) needs remain to be filled among Syrian refugees living in Lebanon, who now number more than 1.1 million.

Arab States and UN Human Rights Mechanisms by Fateh Azzam
The revolts that have rocked the Arab region in 2011 have focused on demands for dignity, social and economic justice, and political freedoms. As the protests unfolded and spread from one country to another, their chants gained remarkable consistency in their rejection of unaccountable leadership and exclusionary economic and development policies that had failed for decades. The revolts were a wake-up call to all those concerned with politics and development in the region, that development can no longer be...

In March 2013, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) registered 48,000 Syrian refugees, bringing the number of refugees registered and awaiting registration with the Office to just under 400,000. However, the Lebanese Government estimates that approximately one million Syrians are seeking refuge in the country. The humanitarian situation is deepening as the number of Syrian refugees in the region could double or triple by the end of the year if no solution is found. In response, Amel is stepping up the assistance to Syrian refugees in Lebanon by providing primary healthcare...
