Syrian Refugees and Food Insecurity in Lebanon

After its two year anniversary, the Syrian Emergency Operation maintains its objective of relieving the very basic needs of the one million-plus needy refugees which now populate the neighboring countries of Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, and Egypt.
A separate Secondary Data Analysis was completed for the countries of Jordan, Turkey and Iraq. This Secondary Data Analysis focuses on the food security of both host and refugee populations in Lebanon – a country currently struggling to satisfy the demands of an extra quarter its population size. The desk review investigates what information is accessible and what types of primary data collection methods and surveillance systems are needed in order to fill in the existing information gaps to support programming and planning in a highly dynamic environment where the influx of refugees and their needs are at the increase.
