Fleeing the violence in Syria: Syrian refugees in Lebanon

The MSF report, Fleeing the violence in Syria: Syrian refugess in Lebanon, details the living conditions and health of the refugees and the major challenges facing them, including access to housing, food, water, sanitation, healthcare, and security. Most refugees are settling in economically disadvantaged regions of Lebanon, placing an additional burden on already overstretched resources. Gaps are appearing in refugees’ access to medical care, particularly hospital care and treatment for chronic diseases.
