The Tough procedures that were taken by the Lebanese General Security, at the Lebanese-Syrian border, to prevent the entry of Palestinian refugees from Syria to Lebanon, are still applied, after the closure of the borders in the face of the Palestinians by the Lebanese government.
The number of refugees decreased from nearly eighty thousand refugees with the beginning of 2013 to approximately 42.444 refugees in July of the same year. In the beginning of June 2014 the numbers returned to go up until November 2014 till 55409. UNRWA announced that statistics indicate that the number of refugees decreased to 44.431 refugees.
In view of the reasons that led to the sharp decline in numbers, the observer finds that the actions taken by the Lebanese government, and the difficult situation of the Palestinian Syrian refugee to Lebanon, it was with the greatest impact in it, some refugees were forced return to Syria to seek some papers, but they could not return again, which affected the Palestinian families, they became dispersed between Syria and Lebanon. Some refugees migrated through airports to the Arab countries, as a first step to reach Europe.
