Syrian Refugees Hit By Winter Storm in Lebanon

Writer: OurStudioOurStudio

The UN says it is "extremely concerned" for Syrian refugees in Lebanon as a fierce winter storm bears down.

There has been snow, rain, high winds and freezing temperatures in the north of the country and the Bekaa Valley, home to more than 200 informal camps.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said it was "working harder than ever" to protect the more than 800,000 Syrians sheltering in Lebanon.

The Lebanese army is helping distribute emergency kits, including blankets.
