Abstract: Abstract This chapter delves into the complexities surrounding the influx of Syrian refugees into Lebanon, providing a detailed examination of the demographics, immediate economic and social impacts, and the initial responses by both the Lebanese government and the international community. Through meticulous analysis, this section quantifies the scale of the refugee influx, explores the distribution and characteristics of the refugee population, and assesses the immediate implications on Lebanon’s socio-economic fabric. The chapter further scrutinizes the initial policy responses, humanitarian aid efforts, and the challenges encountered in addressing the needs of refugees and host communities alike. By highlighting the strain on Lebanon’s resources and the broader socio-economic consequences, this chapter lays the groundwork for understanding the multifaceted impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on Lebanon.
