Syrian refugees struggle in Lebanon

28/06/2013 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon: Newly-arrived refugees live in a tented encampment in a vacant lot 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 or tents provided by UNHCR. Estimates have placed the number of Syrian refugees in Lebanon at well over 500,000 people.
