Currently, refugees looking for asylum in Lebanon have been placed in these refugee camps and not much progress has been made in terms of updating infrastructure. The conditions that refugees are living in are very poor and unsanitary leading to disease, limited protection from weather, issues with sewage, and more. Yet, "most refugees must find a way to pay rent, even for derelict structures. Without any legal way to work in Jordan and Lebanon, they struggle to find odd jobs and accept low wages that often don’t cover their most basic needs" (MercyCorps). The timeline below shows the evolution of the refugee crisis and how they found their way into Lebanon.
