The number of people who have crossed into Syria from Lebanon fleeing Israeli airstrikes — Lebanese and Syrian nationals — has reached 100,000. The outflow continues. UNHCR is present at four crossing points alongside local authorities and Syrian Red Crescent to support new arrivals.
The UN's refugee chief Filippo Grandi tells me of "the terrible, sad, tragic irony” of people fleeing back into Syria from Lebanon.
May you rest in peace, Pope Francis. You stood up and spoke out — relentlessly — for the poor, the persecuted, the victims of war, the refugees, the migrants. May you continue to give us faith and courage in this brutal world. Pope Francis
