Lebanon to set limit on refugee influx
Written by Najib

 

 

Lebanon will set a limit on the number of Syrian refugees in the country and establish camps for the population, which already exceeds a million, according to the trade and economy minister. “The [ministerial] committee [on Syrian refugees] agreed on two main topics, [including] setting the maximum limit for the Syrian refugees’ influx that Lebanon can no longer handle,” Trade and Economy Minister Alain Hakim said.
 
“The second point is establishing refugee camps, but we still haven’t agreed on the locations of such camps; they might be inside the Syrian border or on the Lebanese side,” he added. “We will discuss this during the upcoming Cabinet session.” [Link]
