Camp Rights Over Security
The article calls for a governance framework for Palestinian camps in Lebanon that puts residents’ rights and dignity ahead of a security-focused approach, amid overlapping jurisdictions, a lack of accountability, deteriorating services, and restrictions on employment, property ownership, and access to care. It notes that more than 83% of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon live below the poverty line; 27% of households have at least one member living abroad, while 37% receive remittances—indicators of growing deprivation and emigration. The article proposes improving infrastructure, education, and healthcare; expanding social and economic rights; and renewing representative institutions through resident participation and the election of transparent popular committees.
