The survey results indicate that the majority of displaced persons from Lebanon are currently residing with their extended families or friends in overcrowded conditions, and they face challenges in meeting their basic needs. Among these refugees, it was found that 56% of them were living in Syria before leaving during the crisis, and 94% of them confirmed that the deterioration of the security situation in Lebanon was the main reason behind their decision to return to Syria.
