Refugees – 1989

During the Lebanese civil war of 1975—1990, almost a third of the country’s population was displaced. The Taif Accord did not stop violence and the displacement. The conflict ended when the South Lebanon Army (General Aoun) was defeated in 1990. According to UNDP report, hundreds of thousands of people who had found refuge abroad, about 450,000 persons remained internally displaced in Lebanon.[fn]”Profile of Internal Displacement: Lebanon,” UNDP, 1997, accessed April 4, 2011, http://www.idpproject.org.[/efn_note] No information available on settlement of refugees and IDPs in year 1989.
