Among those who arrived there were also many wounded, said the UNHCR representative, who witnessed the arrival of a woman who carried her dead children to bury them in Syria.
Vargas Llosa has stressed that Syrians and Lebanese have had to face an “incredibly difficult decision” before they go to the border because they know that they are arriving in a country in great crisis and with an economy of fell due to 13 years of internal military. riot.
Vargas Llosa has shown the generosity that the Syrian Government is showing in these situations, which is leading the humanitarian response in collaboration with the Syrian Red Crescent and UNHCR, an organization that has already lost in the Israeli bombings of Lebanon two workers and members of their families.
Upon arrival, the Lebanese and Syrians receive basic assistance, including food, water, shelter items, and are sent to some of the reception centers that have been set up.
