- “Too Early To Speak About The Return Of The Syrian Refugees” Says UN

- It is “very premature” to talk about returning refugees to Syria because the situation there remains insecure and dangerous, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said on Friday.

“Eighty-nine percent of the Syrian people we surveyed in Lebanon are saying we want to go back eventually to Syria, but almost all of them say not right now,” Filippo Grandi said at a conference in the Lebanese capital Beirut.

More than a million Syrians fled into neighbouring Lebanon after war broke out in 2011 and now account for about a quarter of Lebanon’s population.
