Situation Assessment: Syrian Refugees in Lebanon
An EU Civil Protection Team deployed to Lebanon to assist the authorities with the assessment of the current management of the refugee crisis has completed its mission. "The situation is extremely serious. Despite the admirable efforts on the part of the Lebanese Authorities, the country is being crushed by the burden of the ever growing influx of Syrians," said Pekka Tiainen, a Liaison Officer in the EU Civil Protection team deployed on 6 June, on his return from Lebanon.
