Now Lebanon - Akkar MPs call for humanitarian aid to Syrian refugees - May 15, 2011

The Akkar parliamentary bloc met Sunday and issued a statement calling humanitarian aid organizations to provide assistance to displaced Syrian families on Lebanese territory.
The statement called on the humanitarian community to “display the utmost concern to shelter families displaced from Syria and provide humanitarian and medical assistant to them.”
Fleeing violence in their hometowns, hundreds of Syrians have since last week poured into the Wadi Khaled area of northern Lebanon on foot from Syrian villages near the border such as Tall Kalakh.
Up to 850 people, including women and children, have been killed and at least 8,000 arrested in the Syrian regime’s crackdown on widespread protests, according to rights groups.
