evidence: The border municipality of Arsal, situated in North Bekaa, is host to some 32,000 Syrian refugees- the second largest figure of any cadaster in Lebanon. Both Arsalis and refugees live under difficult conditions. The town has a history of being marginalized from investment and public services, and has been affected by the Syrian conflict more than any other municipality in the country. [...] - Arsal is relatively safe. Both the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and, recently, national police have presence. Incidents against humanitarians are very rare. While permissions from LAF are necessary for access, these are routinely granted for humanitarian work. - Arsalis as well as Syrian refugees are overall friendly and authorities are cooperative with humanitarians. Arsal is one of the few municipalities in Lebanon where a dedicated humanitarian coordination mechanism exists, including the Municipality, local and international NGOs and UN agencies.
