The Background
The recent protracted multilayered conflicts in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan and other countries in the Greater Middle East North Africa (MENA) region have all caused a surge of millions of refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) throughout the region to settle into displacement camps or dense, poor urban areas in surrounding countries such as Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey. The humanitarian and medical needs of the refugees have overwhelmed the already poor healthcare systems in these countries. Education access is also very poor for displaced populations. In some places, only 6% of IDP and refugee children receive an education past secondary levels.
Lebanon has faced a series of major crises. Lebanon is the 3rd most indebted country in the world and its currency was drastically devalued and the banking system was nearly paralyzed. Military conflict with its neighbor to the south has been the latest crisis.
