USMCA Forward 2023 – Chapter 6: Data Flows and Critical Technologies

A group of Syrian children seen in a street in Beirut, Lebanon, on November 24, 2021. On November 23 UNICEF realesed the report Surviving without the basics; the ever-worsening impact of Lebanons crisis on children. The report is based on two surveys conducted by UNICEF in April 2021 and again in October 2021 among the same families.
The November 22 report shows an increase in the number of children going hungry, having to work to support their family, not going to school and and not getting the health care they need. The figures show a dramatic deterioration of living conditions over six months, with more than half of families having at least one child who skipped a meal in September, as compared with about 37 per cent in April. More than 30 per cent of surveyed families reported cuts on education expenses (up from 26 per cent in April). Almost 12 per cent of families who participated in UNICEFs survey sent children to work in September, as compared with close to 9 per cent in April. The crisis is also having a severe impact on childrens health. Almost 34 per cent of children who required primary health care did not receive it, up from 28 per cent in April. The figures are even starker for Syrian refugee families, with almost 9 out of 10 living in extreme poverty.
