Hi John,

My name is Karolina and I work for UNHCR in Lebanon, which is currently home to around 1.5 million Syrian refugees. More than half of them are children.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been nearly 10 years since the conflict in Syria broke out. And while refugees in places like Lebanon are now safe from shelling and other daily threats that an active conflict brings, each day remains a fight for survival.

Lebanon has been hit by a severe economic crisis, worsened by COVID-19 and last year’s devastating explosion in Beirut, plunging many into poverty.

Nine out of 10 refugees currently live below the extreme poverty line.
