Syrian refugees make up the majority of children living and working on the streets of Leba**n, with many of them illiterate and surviving by begging, a study released Monday said. The survey of 18 areas in Leba**n identified more than 1,500 children living and working on the street, although its authors said the real number nationwide could be three times higher. The study comes as Syrian refugees in Leba**n struggle to make ends meet, nearly four years into the bloody conflict in their home country. Leba**n has also been stretched by the influx of Syrians, who are competing with its four million citizens for limited resources.
