UN says Lebanon's economic crisis blights Syrian refugees

The Hindu  

More than 1 million Syrian refugees in crisis-hit Lebanon are experiencing deteriorating conditions that have left nine out of ten of them in extreme poverty, U.N. agencies warned on Wednesday. The yearly report on conditions of Syrians living in Lebanon is produced by the United Nations' refugee agency, its World Food Programme, as well as its children's agency. The report said that the cost of an essential food basket has increased more than seven-fold since late 2019 when the financial crisis in Lebanon began to unfold. The crisis made things much worse for Syrian refugees, many of them already living in temporary housing and with low paying jobs.
