Aid agencies are increasingly using technology for two-way communications with refugees. These include the use of the WhatsApp messaging application to send informative or anti-fraud messages, bulk SMS, modern and fully equipped callcentres/helplines, social media channels such as Facebook and dedicated information sites in Arabic, such as Refugees-Lebanon.org and help.unhcr.jo.
