The Syrian conflict, now in its fourth year, has taken a heavy toll on Lebanon’s society. Among those most affected are young men and women in refugee camps and marginalized communities. Young people are increasingly confronting violence and discrimination. They are missing out on education and work opportunities. The rising number of unemployed and disenfranchised youth in Lebanon could become a security risk for both Lebanese and refugee communities. A society’s well-being relies on its youth, who can help revitalize the economy when education, health care and job opportunities are available...

Palestinian refugees from Syria living in Lebanon are one of the most vulnerable sub-populations affected by the crisis. In April 2013, ANERA conducted a survey of these families to gain a clear picture of the situation on the ground and to assess the critical needs that exist. The findings are shocking and the situation is getting worse, day by day. 

Palestinian refugees in Syria have attempted to remain neutral in the civil conflict, which began in March 2011, but they have increasingly been pulled into and affected by the conflict. Palestinian refugees entering Lebanon from Syria have particular needs and vulnerabilities vis-à-vis the general Syrian refugee population. Drawing on its mission of 45 years to serve Palestinian refugees in the Middle East, ANERA (American Near East Refugee Aid) has been monitoring and responding to the needs of Palestinian refugees from Syria. The refugee numbers now surpass 30,000. ANERA conducted the...

Lebanon has made significant strides in improving education in recent years, but much remains to be done.

The purpose of the needs assessment conducted in the Bekaa area is to identify the needs of Syrian refugees (SR), in terms of food, non food items (NFIs), shelter, water and education.

The Palestinian Student Guide in the Lebanese Educational Institutions is considered as an important tool that answers the needs of the Palestinian students related to the education system in Lebanon.

Since March 2011 and the continuously escalating crisis in Syria, Lebanon (along with Jordan, Iraq and Turkey) has been a refuge area for Syrian families fleeing the instability and violence in their country.

This report summarises the findings of the recent Rapid Needs Assessment at Amel Association International’s Burj el Barajneh (Baajour) community centre, which took place in late March 2013.

Severe weather struck the country this week, affecting Syrian refugees sheltered in the mountain region of Bekaa. Heavy rains and snowfall have flooded some settlements, and a number of refugee families were forced to seek shelter elsewhere.
