Concern Worldwide is working in Halba in northern Lebanon supporting refugees who have come over the border from Syria.
In 2014 14, 522 people benefited from Concern's Lebanon shelter assistance programme.
I flew into Beirut today and tomorow travel to northern Lebanon to visit Concern shelters and protection sites.
In the last days Beirut has experienced a severe sandstorm and temperatures are set to soar tomorrow.
Cars all over the city are covered in dust. In the dark, the dust could be mistaken for light snow.
And along with the dust, there was a bin workers' strike in the city today followed by a large demonstration against the government.
It's rubbish in one country, water in another.
Google tomorrow's weather for Beirut one word comes up - Dust.

I heard the story yesterday from Helen. Your moving 'against the trend' here!
Hope you are save down there!!
There is more suffering to come for the Syrian refuges. UN can't finance the camp in Jordan anymore keeping 229000 people! Where do they go? Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman & Isreal don't seem to be keen to take any of the Syrians!

The first thing what i would ask the Syrian refuges is 'what they think about Assad'

Maybe you get a chance to verify this at some stage!?
