Since the Syrian conflict erupted, Lebanon has experienced a large influx of Syrian refugees (circa 1.5 million people), as well as Palestinian refugees from Syria. Unlike Jordan and Turkey, Lebanon refused to build official refugee camps for Syrian refugees. This prompted both the emergence of many new informal settlements around the country, in addition to a large number of refugees from Syria having sought shelter inside established Palestinian camps.
Most Palestinian refugees displaced by the Syrian conflict – in addition to a large number of Syrian refugees – found shelter in one of the 12 Palestinian camps around Lebanon. In part, this is because the established Palestinian camps offer a space where rent is cheaper than urban areas around Lebanon, as well as the existence of a large informal economy and market where chances of securing a job in construction or service labour are higher than outside the camp. The strong social structure established over 68 years inside the established refugee camps has also been a central motive for ‘new’ refugees from Syria choosing it as a site for shelter. More than 100,000 Palestinian refugees left Syria since the conflict erupted, mostly coming from Yarmouk camp which has seen heavy destruction; at least 42,000 of those Palestinian refugees sought refuge in Lebanon according to the UNRWA Syria 2016 Emergency Appeal.
