Lebanon’s winter storm freezes refugees in flooded camps 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersBEIRUT (Reuters) – Storms in Lebanon have flooded Syrian refugee camps, ruining tents, mattresses and food and compounding the misery of people enduring powerful winter winds and biting cold. “Water flooded us in the camp: me and my children. Abu Shahid, who fled Hasaka in Syria three years ago with his family, stood in flooded water in an informal camp in Bar Elias village. We all did not sleep, we left the tent all together, we can’t sit, look, water is flooding, we can’t sleep on water.”
