Displacement in Lebanon: When survival becomes a psychological strain

Rhayem has been monitoring the conditions of displaced persons from the south who live in crowded places, whether in shelters or the homes they moved to, where they reside in large numbers. This overcrowding has led to the loss of all life routines, including regular sleeping schedules and organizational matters. The presence of children alongside a large number of other children in shelters or homes, living in an atmosphere of excessive activity, has left parents unable to impose any routine in their lives as they did in their homes, or any rules or regulations. All this increases psychological pressure on adults, which intensifies as the state of confusion they live in continues, along with uncertainty about the future, the duration of the war, and the possibility of returning home.
