UNHCR: At Least 305,753 Syrian Refugees Currently in Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةThe United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said on Friday that at least 305,753 refugees have fled the warn-torn neighboring country and came to Lebanon since the start of the conflict in Syria.
The UNHCR's weekly report on the situation of refugees in Lebanon elaborated that the majority of Syrians and Palestinians reside in the north of Lebanon with their number reaching 112,384.
Meanwhile, 97,108 refugees are in the Bekaa, 51,283 are spread between Beirut and Mount Lebanon and 44,978 are currently living in the South.
U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres had said earlier this month that the number of people fleeing fighting in Syria could reach 1.1 million by June.
The international community needed to support a $1 billion plan, pushed by his and other international groups, to address the needs of those displaced by the Syrian conflict, he said.
The humanitarian situation in Syria is "the most dramatic crisis we are facing today," he said, adding developed nations, including those in Europe, needed to accept more refugees, as Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon have done.
I am sure that they are running away from the bombardment and massacres committed by the FSA since the regime does not bomb indiscriminately, does not commit massacre and does not torture. All of these Human Right organizations reports are sham and lies (http://www.hrw.org/middle-eastn-africa/syria download reports "Torture Archipelago," "They Burned My Heart," "In Cold Blood").

More than 300,000 Syrian refugees in Lebanon!!! No one cares. These poor souls will end up like the Palestinians.
Before the Lebanese civil war started in 75, there were almost 300,000 Palestinian refugees. Now there are approximately 400,000. Living in poverty and perfect pickings for extremist. All of Lebanon's problems have steamed from refugees.
