Iraqi Refugees Lebanon

The neighbor hood of Sed El Bauchrieh in East Beirut where a large number of Iraqi refugees, primarily Christian, live in rented apartments. Lebanon is host to an estimated 50,000 Iraqi refugees. Relative to their percent of the overall population, a large proportion of Iraqi refugees in Lebanon are Christian. Many refugees come to Lebanon because they feel they have better opportunities for work and resettlement than in neighboring Syria or Jordan, however they run a greater risk of arrest, detention and deportation.
