Up to 57 percent of families in Tripoli are “impoverished,” including 26 percent that are “extremely impoverished.” These families are concentrated in poverty-stricken neighborhoods like #Bab_al-Tabbaneh and #Suwaiqa, where 87 percent of households are in deprivation, compared to 19 percent in the Basatine district for example. Meanwhile, neighborhoods said to be in a “transitional situation” are vulnerable to gradual impoverishment transforming them from middle-class neighborhoods to slums, such as al-Tall and Zahrieh.
