At least 50 percent of Syrian refugees in Lebanon live in camps, where conditions are poor and many makeshift tents are unsafe, said a report by UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Tuesday.
It added that those displaced people need a support of humanitarian organizations to overcome tough conditions in winter as many makeshift tents are not fit for cold climates.
It said that refugees are in a dire need of fuel, clothes and blankets.
According to the report, about 132,000 families, making up 55 percent of the total number of refugees, live in poor tents and about 38 percent live in unsafe places such as underground garages, warehouses and incomplete buildings.
Humanitarian organizations, it noted, aim at providing family, who are in wore conditions, with required substances used in winter such as blankets, fuel, money and stoves.
Lebanese residents who live in difficult conditions due to the influx of refugees will get some assistance to help them overcome their sufferings, it pointed out.
The UNHCR in its report warned that a fund allocated to the displaced is not enough for the whole number saying it could only cover about 55 percent of the targeted refugees, however the rest of them live in deteriorating conditions.
The report pointed out that humanitarian organizations since the beginning of 2014 have prepared stocks to emergency and relief substances to provide a support to refugees whose conditions are worse.
At least 596,000 refugees have received aid money since the beginning of 2104 and about 837,000 others were provided with blankets, clothes and stoves, according to the report.
There are about 1.1 million Syrian refugees live across Lebanon where about 1,400 random shelters are built in different places notably in northern and eastern the country.
