Today, the Syrian refugees could not expect any better treatment by the Lebanese. Syrian refugees are blamed for the economic crisis hitting Lebanon, but it is the Syrian refugees who are suffering. Syrian refugees must abide by a curfew from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m. the next day. However, despite the government’s promise of returning only Syrian refugees who entered illegally, documented evidence shows that deportations include both registered and unregistered refugees. Some Lebanese observers state that Lebanon rightly deserves at least $25 per day for every Syrian refugee in Lebanon.
