A report prepared by the Faculty of Health Sciences at the American University in Beirut and UNRWA under the title “A study of the fragile status of Palestinian refugees of Syria in Lebanon,” called to enclose a forgotten class of refugees in the international financing plan to be included in any contingency plan to address the crisis.
 The report highlighted the vulnerability suffered by the Palestinians of Syria in Lebanon, and provided information about the conditions of the Palestinian refugees in the following eight sectors: economy, education, food security, health, protection, non-food items, shelter, water, as well as sanitation and hygiene, with the aim of assisting effective development activities to alleviate their suffering.
The study revolved around eliminating the fragile status of the Palestinian Syrian refugees in Lebanon, since it endorses the specific context of UNRWA via the same tools, and collected data from all registered Palestinian refugees coming from Syria to Lebanon by a poll conducted by UNRWA in August 2014.
The poll included a sample of 12, 735 families, out of about 16,000 families expected to be living in Lebanon, or 44,227 people living inside and outside the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon; almost 12.
About 60 percent of Palestinian refugee families from Syria in Lebanon live with at least one other family in the same house, and the largest segment of those Palestinian refugees live in Sidon inside and outside the camps.
The report included an info graphic chart showing the increased dependence on financial aids. It also demonstrates the negative adaptation mechanisms, not to mention the risks and impacts arising from the lack of legitimacy of homes livable for families of Palestinian refugees from Syria to Lebanon.
