Nearly 19,000 Syrians, many
from the capital Damascus, have fled from violence at home across the border
into Lebanon since Wednesday, a Lebanese security source said.
"More than 18,600
Syrians have arrived since yesterday from Syria through the eastern Masnaa
crossing, among them many people from Damascus and its province," the
source said.
Previously, the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said there were 26,900 Syrians refugees
registered in Lebanon, although activists have put the total number much
higher.
