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.
