Outgoing Prime Minister Saad Hariri give directives on Saturday to various Lebanese authorities to “coordinate efforts relating to the assistance of refugees from Syria.”
According to a statement from his office, Hariri instructed the Higher Relief Council to coordinate with the International Red Cross and other organizations to assist refugees from Syria, particularly the wounded reported to have arrived in the northern Akkar region.
Refugees have fled across the Lebanese-Syrian in recent weeks as the regime has launched a crackdown against the protests that have rocked the country since mid-March.
