inety percent of Syrian refugees in Lebanon now live under the extreme poverty line, the United Nations has said, after an economic collapse in the country and the pandemic pushed hundreds of thousands to the brink.

In 2020 the UN said a staggering 90 percent of the estimated 1.5 million Syrian refugees now living in the country live on less than 308,728 Lebanese Lira per person per month.
