A camp in northeast Lebanon, run by the armed group Hezbollah, is providing shelter for hundreds of Lebanese and Syrian families who fled violence and displacement in Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad. The Imam Ali Housing Compound, funded largely by private donations from Iran, houses between 700 and 1,000 people, most of whom are Lebanese citizens who had lived in Syrian border villages for decades. The camp has become a point of controversy in Lebanon, where the government has pledged to disarm Hezbollah, and some accuse the group of harboring former Syrian officials, a claim denied by local authorities. Residents say they rely on Hezbollah for safety and support, expressing frustration at the lack of assistance from the Lebanese state since their return from Syria.
