Lebanon Support: Nahr El-Bared Statistical Report

Posted Mon, 03/01/2010 - 11:31

Foreword

In 1948, one hundred thousand Palestinians fled to Lebanon from Palestine, mainly from Haifa, Acre and the Galilee. In Lebanon “temporary” camps were established to provide shelter to the refugees. Today, most of the refugees live in camps that are still precarious settlements even if they have become more like permanent neighborhoods, or they live in clusters of Palestinian homes outside the camps, in the so-called “gatherings”. They are reported to face the worst living conditions among the Palestinian refugees in the host countries in the Middle East. In a situation characterized as one of physical misery, fear and insecurity, most refugees face very limited employment opportunities and possess scant economic resources.
