Le destin des enfants syriens réfugiés au Liban
Thousands of Syrian refugee children in Lebanon forced to work
At least 50,000 Syrian refugee children in Lebanon are working, often in dire conditions and for 12 hours a day, to pay for food and shelter for their families, aid organisation CARE said. More than a million Syrian refugees live in Lebanon, making up a quarter of the country’s population, having fled a civil war in its fourth year. Only 50% of Syrian refugee children in the region attend school, and only 30% in Lebanon, CARE said. Children work as street vendors, others work at coffee shops and markets or on farms and construction sites. Some say they commute for hours on buses into Beirut.
