Syrian Refugees Suffer From Natural Disasters In Lebanon

BEIRUT, Dec 28 (NNN-SANA) – Heavy rain, floods and fire, on Friday, destroyed Syrian tents in several areas in Lebanon, the National News Agency reported.

Floods destroyed tents of Syrian refugees in Akkar, north of Lebanon, prompting the Lebanese Red Cross (LRC), to move the refugees to other tents, temporarily, while providing them with blankets.

The LRC also asked for help of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to save refugees from three other tents affected by heavy rainfall in the north of Lebanon.

Meanwhile, three Syrian refugees’ tents in Rayak were destroyed after a fire broke out.

Lebanon hosts more than 1.3 million Syrian refugees, including 900,000 registered with the UNHCR.

There are no official camps in Lebanon for Syrian refugees, who have to live in tents that lack the necessary conditions for a decent life.– NNN-SANA
