“…Conditions in the Palestinian refugee camps and gatherings are marked by overcrowding, poor sanitation, poor socioeconomic conditions, limited access to health, education and social services and a lack of employment opportunities (Abbas et al, 1997;Laithy et al, 2008;Suleiman, 1997; United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA), 2014).The three camps involved in this research are some of the oldest in Lebanon and are home to over 65,000 people, almost half of whom are under 26 years old (UNRWA, 2014). See Table 1 for further details about the three camps.…”

Engendering hope with refugee children is an important role of those working in child protection. This article reports on one part of an evaluation of a community-based child protection project working with Palestinian refugees in southern Lebanon. Validated tools were used to measure levels of hope in 222 children and young people before and after social work intervention. Results were compared to a smaller group of similar children who received no intervention. Children who received social work intervention were shown to have significant improvement in hope. Results highlight the need for early intervention and in some cases intensive contact.

“…I had come to him early in my fi eld research, hoping to gather some data on the size, composition, and wage levels of Shatila's residential units to satisfy my scientifi cally trained obsession with numbers. Abu Mujahed knew exactly what he was talking about: before becoming the director of a local NGO, he had studied social sciences during his exile in Cuba and written precisely about the Palestinian housing situation in Lebanon, under the name he shares with the Palestinian politician Mahmoud Abbas (Abbas et al 1997). He explained to me the reasons for his distrust of numbers: "You might fi nd, for example, that on average 3.5 people live in a room in refugee camp homes.…”

Except for the quotation of short passages for the purposes of criticism and review, no part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or any information storage and retrieval system now known or to be invented, without written permission of the publisher.In a book devoted to the Middle Eastern refugee crisis, we must begin by thanking the many refugees from Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, and Syria who made this book possible by sharing their lives and stories with us. Many of them have faced incredible hardships and unmitigated human suffering. We dedicate this book to them-hoping that they achieve the safety and settled futures to which they ardently aspire. This book emerged from a meeting that took place at Yale University in September 2019. The meeting brought together for the fi rst time anthropologists studying Middle Eastern refugee populations in various Middle Eastern, European, and North American settings. Here, anthropologists were able to discuss the ways in which war has led to refugee fl ight from the Middle East, and how resettlement in various host countries has unfolded. Their work, now published in this volume, speaks to the cultural, political, and legal challenges that lead to regimes of exclusion in some settings, and regimes of inclusion in others. We are proud of and grateful to these dedicated anthropologists, who are seeking to humanize the vitriolic discourses and political debates surrounding Middle Eastern refugee resettlement in Europe and North America.

“…The refugees living in the "official camps" run by UNRWA are provided with a meagre package of services and welfare benefits (schooling, medical care etc.) which are insufficient in relation to their present needs (Abbas et al 1997). The most comprehensive study of present living conditions among camp-dwelling Palestinian refugees to date (Ugland 2003) finds that the refugees suffer from widespread unemployment, poor living conditions, ill health, low education levels and rising illiteracy.…”
