UN migration agency chief warns number of Syrian refugees leaving Lebanon will keep rising
Fox News
The head of the U.N.'s migration agency warned the number of Syrian refugees leaving Lebanon will likely continue rising as donors cut back on aid; many refugees are heading to Cyprus.
In response, Cyprus suspended the processing of asylum applications by Syrian nationals earlier this month due to the large numbers. Cypriot authorities have reportedly dispatched police patrol vessels just outside Lebanese territorial waters to thwart refugee boats trying to head to Cyprus.
Pope told The Associated Press that governments are cutting aid funding to agencies working with people who have fled Syria, which has been ravaged by civil war for over 13 years, and that this is making things worse. At the same time, some Lebanese communities are getting tired of hosting them.
