Children in Lebanon lose hope as the economic crisis

hinders families from providing basic needs

A new report and research by UNICEF shows the dire reality for children in Lebanon

Baha’a, at just 13 years old, slowly walks down into the dark of the mechanic’s pit
of his uncle’s workshop to check the underneath of a car. “If I had hope I would have
said it a long time ago, I have no hope in anything anymore,” Baha’a says, sniffling
back tears.

The economic crisis which has plagued Lebanon now for three years, compounded
by the COVID-19 pandemic and the devastating Beirut Port explosion has turned
children’s lives upside down.

As a new report by UNICEF, Deprived Childhoods, highlights, Lebanese, Syrian

and Palestinian families across the country have been plunged into poverty, deeply
affecting children’s health, welfare, education and breaking down family
relationships.

“Besides the immediate impact on children’s well-being, child poverty can have
lifelong consequences, affecting children’s ability to reach their full potential and
perpetuating a cycle of poverty and disadvantage,” says Edouard Beigbeder, the
UNICEF Representative in Lebanon.

Realising that his parents’ salaries are no longer enough to provide for the family,
Baha’a made the decision to work with his uncle to help pay his way, joining the
one in five Lebanese families across the country who are now sending a child to
work in order to bring further income into the home. “If I had hope I would have
said it a long time ago, I have no hope in anything anymore.”

Considering how aware children are of the economic situation and the deprivation
they are facing, their hope for the future has been depleted and their mental health
severely deteriorated.

As the UNICEF research shows, families in Lebanon are experiencing

multidimensional poverty due to widespread unemployment, meaning not only are
income levels not adequate, families aren’t able to provide for children’s basic needs.
The lives of families have vastly changed, as even those who used to be considered
middle class now struggle with expenses which are greater than their monthly
income.
Due to constant inflation and increasing prices of basic goods, coupled with high
unemployment rates, 84 per cent of households UNICEF recently spoke to do not
have enough money to cover necessities, resulting in 23% of children going to bed
hungry.

Baha’a feels he carries the burdens of his parents, and knows he can’t vent to them
about how he feels, instead confiding in his cat, who he calls his only friend.
“When I come home from work, tired ... I tell her everything that’s bothering me and
even though she can’t reply like a human, as long as she’s listening to me, I can
express to her my feelings.”

“When I come home from work, tired ... I tell my cat everything that’s bothering me.
I can express my feelings even though she can’t reply.”

Khetam can understand what her son Baha’a is feeling, and feels great sadness as
she doesn’t want him to be in the same pain as her.

Due to the economic situation, family relationships are breaking down, as the
caregiver, or parents can no longer provide what the child needs let alone desires.
Children’s respect for parents is fading and mothers and fathers across Lebanon are
left feeling guilty.

“If you see Baha’a working with his uncle you’d think he’s a man ... eventually we
won’t have a say anymore ... he’s already saying “I can do what I want,”” Khetam
explains.

“As a mother life is extremely hard, there’s always the feeling of guilt,” she says.

“Our hands feel tied and shackled... If we can’t get out of this poor living situation,
what will happen to my boy? That’s what I think about as a father,” Mohamed says.
There is a strong sense of frustration among parents in having to prioritise what they
can provide for their children.

As family structure breaks down, UNICEF research found 36% of caregivers feel
less tolerant of their children and treat them more harshly.

“Our hands feel tied... If we can’t get out of this poor situation, what will happen to
my boy? That’s what I think about as a father”
Lebanon as a whole has seen a rise in violence since the economic collapse, as people
across the country are grappling with how to survive.

This in turn has also negatively impacted children, considering the violence often
pours out onto the streets, between communities and sometimes turns to armed
conflict, hindering the ability of children, particularly young girls, to play outside.
As access to social services in Lebanon is limited, UNICEF has been supporting
vulnerable children impacted by the crisis.

Some ways that UNICEF has helped children and families respond to the economic
collapse has been through cash grants supporting households, procuring medicines,
subsidising treatment for acutely malnourished children and providing micronutrient
supplements, supporting water and education services, as well as supporting the
government to create strategies and law protecting children.

But financial reforms and the creation of employment opportunities as part of an

inclusive economic recovery is crucial to address such child deprivation in Lebanon,
in order for children like Baha’a to look once again to the future.
