BEIRUT, Jan. 9-- The Spokesperson of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Lisa Abou Khaled said Wednesday that 150 camps hosting about 8,000 Syrian refugees were affected by the storm that started Sunday in Lebanon. "Around 66 camps were heavily affected by the storm in Lebanon while 15 were completely destroyed, and 850 camps are at high risk of flooding," she said. Khaled told Xinhua in an exclusive interview that UNHCR's winter program for the support of Syrian refugees has started in November with a target to help 166,000 families, or over 650,000 refugees, with a monthly financial support of 75 U.S. dollars per family for them to buy basic needs of diesel, clothes and food. She explained that UNHCR's winter support program takes place in addition to another one by the agency where 30,000 extremely poor families receive 173 dollars per family every month. However, some of the Syrian refugees in the Bekaa region said that they are not receiving any support by the international community. "Our tents are full of water. We are suffering tremendously and nobody offered us any help or support so far," said Taha Aldouri, a Syrian refugee. Aldouri said that he does not even have any heating system and his family is wrapped with blankets all day long to warm up. Ahmad Ibrahim, another Syrian refugee, said that the camps in Bar Elias are flooded with rainwater. |
