NOW Lebanon - Merhebi says Safadi not transferring aid for Syrian refugees, March 18, 2012


Future bloc MP Mouin Merhebi said on Sunday that Finance Minister Mohammad Safadi “did not transfer the necessary funds ” for aiding the Syrian refugees in Lebanon.
Merhebi said the cabinet-approved funds were not transferred to the Higher Relief Commission, preventing the organization from fulfilling its mandate, the National News Agency reported. 
Thousands of Syrians have fled the unrest in their country, which according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has left over 9,100 people killed since protests erupted in the strife-stricken country in mid-March 2011.
