70,000 Plus Refugees Pour into Syria

More than 52,000 Lebanese citizens and 125,000 displaced Syrians have crossed into Syria since the onset of Israeli military actions last week, according to a source from Syria’s General Directorate of Migration and Passports.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is mobilizing resources to address the influx of refugees, a UNHCR official said on Monday. The UN agency is actively collaborating with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent to provide immediate assistance to incoming Lebanese refugees and Syrian returnees.
