4 I 101 Facts & Figures on the Syrian Refugee Crisis

Acknowledgments

The volume II of the `101 Facts & Figures on the Syrian Refugee Crisis' is the fruit of relentless efforts and collaboration with colleagues at the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs (IFI) at the American University of Beirut. This book would not have been possible without the joint efforts of the Refugee Research and Policy team and especially Program Manager Yara Mourad, as well as Rawya Khodor and Watfa Najdi who through their fastidious labor succeeded in making this book a reality.

It is important to recognize the support of IFI's Communications team headed by Suzanne El Houssari, who have seamlessly and collegially worked on the publication of this book. Finally, the support of the UNHCR office in Lebanon, especially Mireille Girard, Karolina Lindholm Billing and Carol El Sayed, is hugely appreciated in making and producing this publication.
