Red Cross Denies Plan to Build Syrian Refugee Camp in N. Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The International Committee of the Red Cross in Lebanon on Sunday noted that “the ICRC and the Lebanese Red Cross are not planning to build a camp for Syrian refugees in northern Lebanon.”
The clarification came in response to a media report published by Ad-Diyar newspaper and circulated by a number of news websites.
Syrian rights groups say that more than 1,300 people have been killed and 10,000 arrested in a brutal state crackdown on protesters, who since March have hit the streets to demand the regime of President Bashar al-Assad step down.
At least 5,000 Syrian refugees have arrived in northern Lebanon since April, fleeing violence in their native country, while almost 12,000 Syrian refugees have been offered shelter in Turkey.

That's another lie coming from the Syrian opposition . Thank you to the Lebanese Red Cross for the clarification .
The Lebanese Cross is not willing to do anything for terrorists that running away from justice in their own country . This is not their job ! they help injured Lebanese people not Salafi Wahhaby terrorists or politicians that are preparing a coup d'état in Lebanon and Syria !!!
