This article caught my attention because it focuses on a relatively unknown--outside of the Middle East-- side of the Palestinian plight; their status and destitution outside of the occupied territories and Gaza strip.
As the author points out, "there is a greater proportion of designated "hardship cases"- a status given to particularly poor or vulnerable refugees - in the Palestinian population of Lebanon than anywhere else in the region, including the Gaza Strip."
The article alludes to a larger issue, the detrimental psychological effect of their situation: the loss of hope and will among those refugees.
Ironically, the people interviewed for this article squat in a hospital complex, a place for a transitory stay, not the prolonged periods their stays have become.
