Abstract

Since 2015, over 5 million refugees from Syria have sought safety and protection in cities, towns and camps across Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey. Key responders have included local faith communities, whose members have provided material and spiritual support alike to those displaced from Syria, as well as to other communities affected by protracted displacement, including Palestinians, Iraqis, Lebanese, and Kurds: these people and communities, are themselves also often hosts. From Orthodox churches in Istanbul organising clothes donations for newly arrived Syrians, to Palestinian refugees in Baddawi refugee camp in North Lebanon preparing iftar baskets during Ramadan for camp residents (irrespective of their nationality), the Refugee Hosts project has evidenced the significant role that religion plays in local responses to displacement.
