On the border, they stop Palestinians from entering,\" says Abu Mohamed, who came to Burj al-Barajneh in February 2013 after fleeing the town of Mlehah, near Damascus.\u003cbr/\u003e\"So far, most of the Palestinians who have taken refuge from Syria are living here without legal papers. They are captives in this camp as if it were a big prison.\"\u003cbr/\u003eLebanon is worried that if refugee numbers increase, new camps will be formed - putting the country's internal security at risk because of regional tensions. \u003cbr/\u003eBut Ali Barake, a Hamas representative in Lebanon, says any concerns over their permanent settlement are unfounded.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We have communicated with the Lebanese General Security apparatus about the restrictions and assured them that the refugees are only temporary,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003e\"When the events end in Syria, they will go back to the camps (in Syria). We don't advocate for more Palestinian camps in Lebanon but the Lebanese state doesn't treat Palestinians like they do Syrians. We want them to treat them both the same because they are enduring the same circumstances.\"\u003cbr/\u003eClashes are common between rival groups across Lebanon's 12 Palestinian refugee camps.\u003cbr/\u003e\"If the camps are removed it would mean turning a blind eye on the refugee issue and tossing out our right of return. And it would only serve the American and Israeli plan of naturalisation. So we insist on keeping the camps and the Palestinian presence in Lebanon,\" says Barake.\u003cbr/\u003e\"And that's why now in the camps we have formed a joint security committee with all parties in order to put in place a security plan for the camps. In the next few days a Palestinian security force will be formed in coordination with Lebanese authorities.\u003cbr/\u003e\"And before Ramadan, in a week or 10 days, the Lebanese security forces will spread out in the biggest camp, Ain el-Hilweh in order to preserve the security of the camp and to prevent the use of the camps to hurt Lebanon.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe new restrictions brought in by Beirut could further fuel insecurity.\u003cbr/\u003ePalestinians in this camp fear for their future. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We are honourable people. We are not looking to impose on anyone or beg from here or there or to receive charity. We are not used to this,\" says one man.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We are used to working and feeding ourselves from our own labour and the sweat of our brow. We don't want charity but they have to give us room to work and to live.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I have five children including a special needs one. How will we live in this country if I'm confined to this small camp.
