Peace Deal: Refugees and Lebanese Authorities

peace deal: The army says the Syrian migrants were being smuggled to Cyprus, according to CTV. Lebanese Al-Jadeed TV reported, however, that the drowned five-year-old child was from Palestine. The army says Saturday all other passengers were rescued off the coast of Akkar. Lebanon is host to the highest number of Syrian refugees per capita, with at least 1 million registered in the country. But U.N. officials say with no peace deal in Syria, it is too early for the mass return of refugees. As violence wanes in Syria, Lebanese authorities have begun organizing return trips to refugees willing to go back. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
