most people don't probably think of snow
when they think of Lebanon we're
crossing the mountain range that takes
you from bedroom into the bakov Valley
the snow here is starting to melt from a
storm last week although there's still
quite a bit of it and we're expecting
another storm sometime in the next
couple days which should make life much
more difficult for the refugees living
in makeshift camps down in the valley
more than 1 million people if wet
Syria's Civil War to Lebanon in the past
four years in a country of a little more
than four million residents this means
that one in every four people in Lebanon
is Syrian
we've come to El Marg a small city of
about 15,000 not far from the road that
connects Beirut to Damascus the refugee
camp that lies just outside the center
of town houses about 400 families good

Philip na na hey
the bakov Valley makes up the eastern
half of Lebanon and is the gateway from
Damascus to Beirut this area has the
highest concentration of Syrian refugees
in Lebanon hundreds sometimes thousands
of refugees line up outside this UN
distribution center every day to
register themselves and receive aid
lissa Bacolod is a spokeswoman for the
UN High Commissioner for Refugees which
oversees the international aid effort
we have prioritized winter assistance
however it's difficult to reach everyone
because refugees are scattered over
1,700 locations in Lebanon over 1,400
informal settlements and UNHCR and other
partners only managed to meet the very
basic and urgent needs of the refugees
this is unfortunately not enough even if
we prioritize winter assistance
what stress is this is this refugee
population cause to the host communities
I mean we've been to places where people
say that in the last year or so the
population of their municipality is
basically doubled as a result of the
number of people coming from Syria
that's true well in general the
population here in the because of the
Lebanese population in the Bekaa is of
540,000 the number of registered Syrian
refugees is almost that not and it's
true that in many municipalities the
number of Syrian refugees has exceeded
even the number of locals because not
everyone registers with the UN the real
numbers are likely higher there's a
significant shortfall in aid and the UN
estimates that only around 60 percent of
basic needs are met for the refugees the
task of coordinating distributing aid
falls on municipalities across the
country and officials have been
struggling to keep up with the massive
influx of refugees local NGOs have
stepped in to make up the shortfall in
international aid but it's clearly not
enough
as frustration bill the men distributing
the blankets said they would come back
if the refugees formed a line they were
handing out the aid without the approval
of the local government and wanted to
avoid a scene that might draw
authorities tensions are rising in El
Mirage as the refugee population grows
becomes even more limited the Messiah

the day before we drove to the

telling us their story
local police prevented us from filming
further but one man who said he had
video of the incident arranged to meet
us later we've been joined by a
gentleman who's beaten by the police
yesterday and he's agreed to come back
to the hotel with us and just discuss it
we're doing this because after getting
picked up by the local police it's not
safe for us to continue filming there
and certainly not safe for him

killed more than a hundred thousand
people even today Lebanese authorities
rarely enter the 12 Palestinian refugee
camps spread across the country some of
which have become havens for militants
and criminals many see the same
potential for conflict playing out today
with an increasingly desperate Syrian
refugee population straining Lebanon's
meager resources and no end in sight to
the war next door
back at the camp people are preparing
for another big storm there are still at
least two months left in winter
the people here aren't allowed to build
more permanent dwellings than ones they
have but each time you come back to the
camp it develops a sense of more
permanence right now they're laying
donated sandbags to prevent flooding
