Palestinian Camps in Lebanon Face Service Cuts
Palestinian camps in Lebanon are facing a severe crisis due to a lack of funding allocated by UNRWA, leading to a significant decline in basic services and the closure of many schools. A large segment of Palestinian refugees relies on the agency’s services in areas such as water, electricity, health, and education. However, the reduction in funding has resulted in diminished services and heightened concerns about potential social and security unrest stemming from escalating poverty, unemployment, and overcrowding, which reaches a rate of 400%. By 2026, there is a funding gap approaching one hundred million dollars, after some countries suspended their contributions amid accusations related to certain agency staff, threatening the sustainability of the services provided to the camps.
