Palestinian refugees residing in Lebanon are facing a severe escalation in daily hardship, driven by soaring energy prices and crippling inflation that have intensified their economic vulnerability.

Long recognized as one of the most marginalized and vulnerable populations in Lebanon, Palestinian communities are finding it increasingly difficult to cover basic living expenses. The combination of surging fuel costs and widespread inflation has severely strained household budgets across refugee settlements, leaving many residents struggling to afford essentials such as food, medicine, and electricity.

The latest economic pressures compound decades of systemic restrictions and socio-economic exclusion faced by Palestinians in the country, deepening an already precarious humanitarian situation.
