How do the Palestinian refugees affect Lebanon?

Answer 1

There are 400,000 Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon. The Lebanese government actively excludes them from integrating into Lebanese society, including bans on living and working outside of the refugee camps. This leads to high unemployment and poverty in the camps, further fueling violence between Palestinians and Lebanese. This violence was amplified in the 1970s when Palestinian militant groups fleeing Jordan took root in Lebanon. In 1975, antagonism between the Palestinians and Lebanese was one of the primary causes of the Lebanese Civil War. To this day, Palestinians in Lebanon have been horribly mistreated and more Palestinians died in the Lebanese Civil War than all conflicts in Israel/Palestine combined.
