Oxfam: Syrian refugees debt spiraling upward
None
The aid agency warns that debt levels of Syrian refugees in Lebanon are spiraling out of control, pushing entire families into a cycle of grinding poverty.
Oxfam says in a report released Thursday that refugee families in Lebanon are spending more than twice their monthly average income of $250. It says many families have exhausted their savings and have resorted to borrowing money as the job market in Lebanon has dried up. (AP)
