Syrian refugee camps in Lebanon
Several Lebanese set fire to tents belonging to Syrian refugees in Miniyeh, in northern Lebanon, due to a dispute that occurred between a Lebanese member of the Al-Mir family and several Syrian workers in the area.
The “National News Agency” reported that “a problem occurred between a person from the Al-Mir family and some Syrian workers working in Minya, causing a clash of hands and the fall of 3 injured.”
The agency said that several young people from the Al-Mir family intervened and set fire to some tents for displaced Syrians in the north of the country.
Civil defense vehicles arrived and worked to put out the fire, while a Lebanese army force and internal security forces intervened to control the situation.
Activists on social media circulated videos showing the massive fire that the refugee camp in Minya was exposed to.
