Since the Syrian conflict began in 2011, 11 million people have been internally displaced or have fled to neighboring states. This has put an incredible strain on the hosting societies, particularly in Lebanon,Jordan, Iraq and Turkey.
The objective of the report is to identify the psychosocial impact and needs of humanitarian actors working with refugees in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, North Iraq and Palestine.

Describing the Lebanese Youth: A National and Psycho-Social SurveyCharles Harb
The present research investigates socio-demographic, socio-cultural and social-psychological profiles of a representative sample of Lebanese youth. The study thus provides a first assessment of youth in Lebanon, with a clear hope to replicate this research in other parts of the Arab world. This report does not aim to provide a comprehensive model testing between levels of analyses, but rather focuses on a more descriptive profiling of such variables in a way that may be useful to...
