The United Nations has expressed concern over the rising number of Syrian refugees in Lebanon, saying the total is likely to reach 1.5 million by the end of 2014.
The figure accounts for one third of Lebanon’s estimated population of 4.5 million.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Monday that more than one million Syrian refugees are registered with UN agencies in Lebanon, and 50,000 new arrivals keep signing up each month.
