UNHCR: Syrian refugees top 200,000 as exodus grows
None
More than 200,000 Syrians have poured into neighbouring countries during the conflict, surpassing the 185,000 the UN refugee agency had expected to flee by the end of the year.
The total reflects an increase of some 30,000 in the past week alone to Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan, but also takes into account a change in the way the agency counts those in Jordan, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said. (Reuters)
