A Case of Munchausen by Proxy in a Syrian Refugee camp in Lebanon - Abstract
As the Syrian conflict rages on, more and more innocent civilians are fleeing their homes in pursuit of safety. The numbers of Syrians refugees that have left their country encroaches on 5 million, more than a quarter of them in Lebanon. These families, and by extension their children, live in suboptimal conditions in Lebanon, as there are no formal refugee camps. Refugee status increases the risk of development of psychological and organic disorders. Our manuscript sheds light on the grim situation of Syrian families and children in Lebanon through a case of Munchausen Syndrome By proxy in a Syrian refugee family.
