Lebanon allows Palestinian refugees to work legally
7:01 AM
Lebanon's parliament has passed a new law which allows Palestinian refugees to work legally on the territory of the country. Near 400,000 Palestinians live in Lebanon and their status is a sensitive problem. Many of then are still living in camps where conditions are terrible. But the law is unlikely to change their lives, as they will not be able to work in the public sector, nor buy property cause it might lead eventually to the permanent settlement of Palestinians in Lebanon.
