Syrian Refugees in Lebanon
I read the below article, and wanted to share with everyone.

It is devastating to read that the number of registered Syrian Refugees who have entered into Lebanon, has exceeded one million; this number is given by the United Nations.
There is a humanitarian crisis in Lebanon as this small country is overwhelmed and severely taxed with this many people, now living there.
Lebanon now has the highest concentration of refugees as a percentage of population in the world, with about one Syrian for every three Lebanese.
These are staggering figures and the World needs to join together to conclude this conflict and end the suffering.
As a World Citizen, I am appalled at the nonchalant attitude and non-action by our Leaders.
Thank you for reading,
