The relationship between Lebanon and Syria includes Maronite requested aid[3] during Lebanons' civil war which lead to a 29 year occupation of Lebanon by Syria ending in 2005.[4] Following the outbreak of civil war in Syria, refugees began entering Lebanon in 2011.[5] Lebanon's response towards the influx of refugees has been criticized as negative, with the Lebanese government leaving them undocumented and limited[6] and attacks on Syrian refugees by Lebanese citizens which go unaddressed by authorities.[7] Despite the strained relationship between the Syrians and Lebanese,[4] taking into consideration only Syrian refugees, Lebanon has the highest number of refugees per capita, with one refugee per four nationals.[6] The power dynamic and position of Syria and Lebanon changed drastically in such a short amount of time, it is inevitable that sentiments and prejudices prevailed despite progressions and changes in circumstance.[9]
