Improving Living Conditions in Palestinian Gatherings

February 4, 2014

Due to the absence of basic urban service providers, the 42 Palestinian refugee gatherings are considered to be among the most vulnerable host communities in Lebanon. In addition to some 75,000 original Palestinian dwellers, these gatherings host today around 30,000 Palestinian and 5,000 Syrian refugees displaced from Syria, increasing the population by 47%. This has been exerting unprecedented pressure on the physical and living environment and resources.
