Lebanon and Neighbouring Countries

neighbouring countries: Last year, 150,000 Syrian migrants were registered every month, on average, by the UN refugee agency. But in October 2014, the figure was only 18,453 an 88 per cent decline, according to a new report by the council called, No Escape: Civilians in Syria Struggle to Find Safety Across Borders, according to The Star. The neighbouring countries are now filled to the brim with desperate Syrians, more than 3 million people, Egeland said in an interview from Oslo. Countries like Lebanon that announced officially in October that Enough was enough, are imposing new restrictions and we are seeing increasing numbers being turned away or giving up trying to cross. Hundreds of thousands are actually now amassing in the border areas with no escape and As the Syrian conflict and the U.S.-led Western coalition air assault intensifies, the United Nations has recorded a sudden 88 per cent drop in the number of refugees registering at border countries, warns the Norwegian Refugee Council. The sharp decrease in Syrian refugees flooding into Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq indicates these overwhelmed countries have begun to close their borders, said the groups secretary general, Jan Egeland. The report will be released on Thursday in London. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
