The Forgotten People, Lebanon

An estimated 450.000 stateless Palestinians live in Lebanon, descendants of the refugees who were seeking shelter from the 1948 Arab-Israeli war but also Palestinians that fled from Syria in recent years. They face numerous employment restrictions and have no access to public social services. Access to health and educational services are extremely limited. The world‘s oldest unsettled refugee population is denied basic human rights and suffers from appalling economic and social conditions. Beirut, Lebanon, 2016.
