Lebanon's economic and political crisis appears to have an end in sight. However, the issue of Syrian refugees presents another crisis within the current situation. Lately, these refugees have been encountering increased violence and discrimination as the Lebanese struggle to make ends meet. Over the past decade, approximately 2 million Syrians, most of whom are considered refugees according to Lebanese authorities, have crossed the border. In response to this influx, the government has implemented a plan that will lead to the expulsion of Syrian refugees.
