“…Both Syrians and Lebanese openly express concerns about national safety and economic insecurity. Lebanese attribute a rise in petty crimes to the presence of refugees (Beaujouan & Rasheed, 2020), while Syrians share testimonies of discrimination (Samuels et al, 2020). Sources of tensions are varied, complex, and trace back to a long‐intertwined history between the Syrian and Lebanese populations and governments.…”

“…As of 2021, 6.7 million Syrians were internally displaced and over 5.6 million fled to neighboring countries, including Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq (UNHCR, 2021). This vast displacement has significantly impacted regional economies and disrupted the social demography of countries that host large numbers of displaced Syrians (Beaujouan & Rasheed, 2020).…”

Background: Mental health disorders significantly contribute to the global burden of disease, however, prevention and treatment programs are often inaccessible in low- and middle-income countries. Aims: The goal of this qualitative evaluation was to examine participants experiences of the healthy community clinic (HCC-MH), an integrated mental health awareness intervention delivered in primary care clinics to Jordanians and resettled Syrians in a border community in Jordan. Methods: Four focus group discussions (FGDs) with Jordanians and Syrians ( N = 21) who participated in the HCC-MH were conducted. FGDs examined knowledge, acceptability, and applicability of the intervention. Open coding and the constant comparison method were used to identify themes that emerged from the FGDs. Results: Six central themes emerged from the data including : (1) awareness; (2) behavior changes; (3) reduction in stigma; (4) connecting physical and mental health; (5) relationships; and (6) coping. Notably, female participants stated participation in the intervention fostered awareness of their own emotional needs, which led to positive lifestyle and behavior changes. Participants also described how the information provided in the intervention normalized emotional distress and aided understanding of the interconnection between physical and mental health. The amplification of healthy coping strategies to reduce stress and distress was also a prominent theme. Conclusions: Findings are discussed within the cultural and contextual setting of the study, and implications for mental health awareness interventions in complex settings are provided.

“…Also, the country has two approved agreements back in early nineties to allow Syrians to cross the borders and have a legal residency for six months by presenting a valid identity document. In 2012," Baabda declaration" was signed by main political parties as a disassociation policy from the Syrian conflict while maintaining the humanitarian solidarity (Beaujouan & Rasheed, 2020).…”

Despite the Lebanese healthcare system showing resilience throughout its critical history, the multidimensional crisis including the Syrian refugee crisis turned this system into a very fragile and vulnerable one. The aim of this thesis is to examine health security’s fulfillment of Syrian refugees in Lebanon and their host community, and explore whether or not they fulfill the health needs of their beneficiaries’ different health coverage schemes. The study revealed that the Syrian refugee community is granted health access under terms, conditions and restrictions including OOP payment. Regarding the host community, results showed that traditional health guarantors are nearly absent, and accordingly citizens are supposed to access health services subject to nearly full OOP payments except in few cases. This study highlights the fact that the refugees are granted better and easier access to health services whereas the host citizens are subject to complicated processes for approval topped with high OOP. This finding raises “a paradox of health access” where the refugee can access health services with minimal OOP to a certain extent more than the host citizen itself.
