UNHCR: Refugees Fleeing Syria Have Crossed The Four Million Mark


L.A. Times: The number of Syrian refugees has topped 4 million, UN says

With no end in sight to Syria’s civil war, the number of people who have fled to neighboring countries has surpassed 4 million, according to United Nations figures released Thursday.

“This is the biggest refugee population from a single conflict in a generation,” U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said in a statement. “It is a population that needs the support of the world but is instead living in dire conditions and sinking deeper into poverty.”
