Minister of Social Affairs, Rashid Derbas, told Voice of Lebanon radio on Sunday that the Lebanese state has to adopt a clear stance regarding influx of Syrian refugees as well as "organize" entry of the Syrian into Lebanon.
The state's policy of ignoring the current situation led to its escalation to a dangerous point. Derbas insisted that Lebanon could not deal with donor countries, United Nations and the international community unless the state set a clear framework similar to that adopted by Jordan and Turkey.
"It is essential that Syrian entry [into Lebanon] is organized and that we have a clear policy with Cabinet's consensus over it."
The Minister also asked for a policy to be adopted towards centers receiving the refugees.
