Syrian refugee couple Samir (24) and Shrook Nazal (20) sit on a sofa on their wedding day in the Housein Meraar refugee camp in the Beka'a valley close to the border with Syria. Other Syrians in the camp, which mainly houses refugees from Syria, have contributed to the cost of the wedding. The wedding is a rare day of celebration and joy in the lives of refugees in the camp. The camp is one of many unregistered, informal refugee camps that have sprung up in Lebanon. It lacks clean water, basic sanitation, health care and schools.
