Non-Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon,
Figures
at 31/12/2000
Figures. 2,672 refugees were recognized to
be refugees by UNHCR at the end of 2000, whereas in early 1998, UNHCR was
helping to protect and assist a total of 3,191 refugees, including 1990 Iraqis,
550 Afghans, 284 Sudanese, 152 Somalis and 215 refugees from other countries.
The refugees all live in Lebanese cities and
UNHCR provides them with supplementary assistance, medical care and educational
grants with priority given to needy families and vulnerable cases.
Local integration is virtually impossible and
repatriation is extremely limited (1 person was repatriated to Ethiopia in
1997), so resettlement is the only practical solution for most people. In 1997,
120 persons were resettled in third countries.
