Of the more than 1 million Syrian refugees registered in Lebanon, more than half are children. Ongoing clashes between the Islamic State militant group and Syria's Kurdish Democratic Union Party have forced nearly 4 million Syrians to flee to other countries and caused over 7.5 million to flee their homes.

The refugee families bring their children but because many adults cannot find work themselves, the children are forced to work too, struggling to survive in poverty.
