Syrian refugees struggle in Lebanon

01/07/2013 Burj el-Barajneh refugee camp, Beirut: Three Syrian refugee families live in a two-room flat in the Palestinian camp of Burj el-Barajneh after fleeing a suburb of Aleppo. They brought nothing with them. The men of the family cannot find work and they can barely afford to pay the rent or feed the children. No aid has been forthcoming so far. Since 2011, housing costs have quadrupled for people fleeing the conflict in Syria, and work is scarce or extremely low-paying. Estimates have placed the number of Syrian refugees in Lebanon at well over 500,000 people.
