The small proportion of PRS families living in tents/cabins/barracks is especially vulnerable. Electricity/gas plugs are generally accessible, even though 11.40% of PRS households live in a tent/. The majority of PRS households (81%) reported having access to sufficient water for washing and toileting purposes.
A high proportion of PRS families experience severe vulnerability in the healthcare and protection sectors (18.8% and 24.3% respectively). On the other hand, a significant proportion of PRS households (15.8%) fall into the category of moderate overall vulnerability. While less than 1% of PRS households are classified as severe on the overall vulnerability measure, a significant proportion are classified as moderately vulnerable.
Demographics
Less than half of PRS individuals (44.32%) had a valid visa for Lebanon when the vulnerability assessment was conducted. On the other hand, more than half of PRS individuals living inside camps in the North (54.92%) and outside camps in Tire (53.26%) have a valid visa. The proportion of PRS who paid US$200 to renew their residency in Lebanon is slim (8.63%).
With the exception of PRS living inside camps in the north, the proportion of people who paid US$200 to renew their residence is less than 10% in all regions, regardless of whether they live in or outside camps.
Legal Status
Less than half of PRS individuals residing outside the camps in Beqaa (38.95%) and those residing either inside or outside the camps in Saida (39.36% and 36.54% respectively) have a valid visa. Overall, more PRS individuals living in camps hold valid visas (46.60%) compared to those living outside camps (42.07%); Figure 2.1. Of the 24,625 PRS individuals who do not have a valid visa for Lebanon, three quarters (75.75%) reported limited mobility.
Even though the North and Tire have a slightly lower percentage of PRS who do not have a valid visa, they have the highest percentage of individuals whose mobility is restricted because they do not have a valid visa (respectively 81.34% and 81, 18%).
Work, Expenditures and Debt
- Work
- Food and Total Expenditures
- Assistance and Debt
- Food Consumption
Despite the high proportion of PRS families that do not have a single member working and generating income, the results of the Vulnerability Assessment show relatively high total and food expenditures. Overall, PRS families living outside the camps in Beirut report the highest total expenditures ($609), while those living in the camps in Tire report the lowest ($421). Total expenditure is consistently lower for PRS families residing in camps, regardless of region, than for those residing outside camps (Figure 3.2).
With the exception of Beqaa, PRS families living outside camps spend more on food than those living inside camps. Given the extremely limited employment opportunities, it is no surprise that only 7.13% of PRS families report income from labor as a primary source of livelihood. In fact, almost 100% of PRS families reported relying on UNRWA assistance as either a primary, secondary or third source.
Dependence on UNRWA assistance varies by region and camp residence, with over 90% of PRS families in Tire (both inside and outside the camps) reporting that they rely on UNRWA assistance as their main source of livelihood. Borrowing is another challenge faced by PRS families given their limited employment opportunities. Surprisingly, PRS families in the Beqaa agricultural region consumed fewer vegetables than in other regions; only 5% of families consumed vegetables every day in Beqaa compared to 12.34% to 15.36% in other regions.
On the other hand, fruits were consumed the least in Tyre, especially by PRS families living in camps (55.52% of these families did not eat fruit at all during a seven-day period). Meat was consumed least in camps in the northern region; compared to 60.16% of PRS families living in camps in Beirut who consumed meat at least once during the week prior to the assessment, only 43.75% of those living in camps in the north who did it.
Food Consumption, Food Security and Coping Strategies
Food Security
The overwhelming majority (91%) of PRS families in Lebanon reported experiencing a lack of food or money needed to purchase it during the 30-day period preceding the assessment. This ratio varies by region, with the highest rate reported within camps in the North (94.95%) and the lowest rate reported within camps in the Beqaa (85%); Figure 4.3. Lack of food or money needed to buy it does not differ much between families headed by men (91.49%) and families headed by women (90.24%).
On the other hand, families without any working member report a slightly higher lack of food (92.15%) than families with at least one working member (89.6%).
Coping with Lack of Food
Non-food coping strategies did not differ by gender of the head of the family. However, a greater proportion of PRS families in Beirut reported withdrawing children from school and generating income (10.37%) compared to other regions. Furthermore, while a small proportion of families in the North, Beqaa, Saida and Tire were reported to marry off children, 4.12% of PRS families in Beirut reported this as a strategy to cope with a lack of food to deal with.
Housing Type and Housing Tenure
Shelter, Rent and Assets
- Living Space and Crowding
- Rent
- Housing Conditions and Assets
- Access to a Bathroom
UNRWA's vulnerability assessment shows that 12.35% of PRS families have a living area of less than 3.5 m2 per person. This means that at least one in ten PRS families live in extremely crowded conditions. Data on rents are available for 10,343 PRS families living in rent-paying accommodation; the results in this section exclude families who do not pay rent because they are free.
Only 5% of PRS households do not have access to electricity/gas outlets, with little variability between regions or camp versus non-camp settlements. On the other hand, 11.40% of PRS households living in a tent, hut or shack do not have access to electricity/gas outlets (Figure 5.6). The proportion of PRS households living in a residence with damaged doors/windows or no windows is 7.44% overall, but this figure rises to 12% outside the Tiro camps.
The majority of PRS families (84.11%) own a stove, with little difference between regions or between camp and non-camp residence. More than 90% of PRS families living outside camps in the North or inside camps in Beqaa own a stove (Table 5.2). Most PRS families own a water heater, regardless of region or camp versus non-camp residence (Table 5.2).
Most PRS families have access to a bathroom in their residence, whether they live in the camp (95.31%) or outside the camp (94.29%). Most PRS families (77.89%) have a flush toilet or an improved cement slab toilet and 20.80%.

Girls are more favored than boys when it comes to school enrollment; Currently, 60.02% of girls are registered compared to 55.39% of boys. On the other hand, the educational level of the household head strongly determines whether the child remains enrolled in school and reduces both non-enrollment and earlier enrollment or dropout (Figure 7.6). Of the 42.36% of children not currently in school (either previously enrolled or never enrolled), more than half (56.52%) cited war and emigration as the main reason for not enrolling.
Based on criteria established by the WFP, each PRS household was classified into one of four categories (low vulnerability; mild vulnerability; . moderate vulnerability; or severe vulnerability) for each of the eight sectors. In the remainder of this section, we present the profile of the severely and moderately vulnerable families along with a number of demographic and social variables. Severe health vulnerability increases step by step with increasing age of the head of the family and the largest proportion of the severely vulnerable according to the health sector is in the 60-69 age category (29.3%).
Finally, education of the family head is a protective factor, and a smaller proportion of families whose heads have a secondary education or more experience severe health vulnerability (15.4%) compared to those whose heads have less than a secondary education (20.1 %) . As expected, the higher the level of education of the family head, the less likely it is to be classified as severely vulnerable for protection. In this section, we present the profile of these families by region, camp accommodation and socio-demographic characteristics of the head of the family.
There is no clear pattern in the extent to which average overall frailty varies with the age of the householder. However, as expected, the education of the head of household is a protective factor, and families where the head of household has a secondary education or higher have the lowest rate of moderate frailty (10.7%). This can be explained by the fact that many of the refugees have family ties in Lebanon and have received some support within the Palestinian community from relatives and friends, UNRWA and other partners and NGOs.
However, the large proportion of PRS classified as moderately vulnerable in the food security and shelter sectors is a cause for concern.
