- Abstract
The article focuses on the discrimination among Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. The Palestinian refugee camps in the area are recognized as the worst living conditions of any of the Palestinian refugee camps. Majority of the refugees occupying in the country lack citizenship and marginalized from Lebanese society. They are designated by the Lebanese government the legal status of foreigners that negatively affected their rights to health care, social services, education and property ownership. Thus, most Palestinian refugees suffer from miserable poverty and unemployment, have little hope for the improvement of their situation, and are reliant on the United Nationals Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA).
