Syrian refugees struggle in Lebanon

28/06/2013 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon: Syrian refugees live in an improvised tented encampment alongside farmland in the Bekaa Valley near Zahleh. Since 2011, housing costs have quadrupled for people fleeing the conflict in Syria, and work is scarce or extremely low-paying, forcing many refugees into improvised shelters. Estimates have placed the number of Syrian refugees in Lebanon at well over 500,000 people.
