he Syrian crisis, which began with peaceful demonstrations in 2011, has gradually stepped up to take on the contours of one of the cruelest and bloodiest civil wars in history. The precarious national context has forced millions of people to flee their homes to seek refuge in safer areas inside Syria itself or in neighboring countries, such as Lebanon, where the refugee population has reached one million out of a total population of 4 , 5 million inhabitants. Within the country, the Bekaa region, located in the north of the country just a few miles from the Syrian border, is one of the areas most affected by the influx of people who come with the hope of finding better living conditions.
