Lebanon

All of this led to the misery of the Lebanese people: with unemployment rising, many are leaving the country, which has had no government since 2019. The currency is in free fall, while prices are skyrocketing. In some cases, people wait for hours to fill up their cars or to buy bread and other food.

The overburdened state is now also home to more than one million Syrian refugees. The conditions in the refugee camps are grueling, the cost of living is exorbitant, and tensions between Syrians and Lebanese are inevitable.
