| Syrian refugees in Lebanon drop below one million: UN |
| 2017-12-27 |
| [IsraelTimes] The number of registered Syrian refugees in Leb has dropped to below one million for the first time since 2014, the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... tells AFP. As of the end of November, the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) counted 997,905 Syrian refugees ‐ a vast majority of them women and kiddies ‐ registered in Leb. "The number reached one million in April 2014, and this is the first time it drops below that," UNHCR spokeswoman Lisa Abou Khaled says. Numbers were decreasing, Abou Khaled said, as refugees had resettled in third countries, returned to their homes in Syria, or passed away. From 2011 until September this year, nearly 49,000 Syrians left Leb as part of the United Nations’ resettlement program to third countries including the United States, Sweden, and La Belle France. |
