'We are slowly dying here': Syrian refugees suffer in storm-hit Lebanon
BEIRUT, Lebanon – At least four Syrian refugees have died as a result of the huge storm that is currently sweeping across Lebanon, as more than a million refugees try and survive against the onslaught of snow and rain.
A three-month-old baby girl died on Tuesday night after being stuck at the Masnaa border crossing for four days.
Three members of a four-person group crossing into the Shebaa area in southern Lebanon from the Syrian village of Beit Jin, including a six-year-old boy and two men, were also killed by the storm, according to sources who spoke to Al Jazeera.
Storm Zina, which is now in its second day, has already forced road and school closures up and down the country, as well as temporarily shutting down the airport on Tuesday night as winds gathered speed of up to 90km per hour.
