More than 300 Syrian refugees were forced to flee an informal camp in northern Lebanon as a blaze raged through and burnt tents to the ground, U.N. and Lebanese officials said Sunday.
The fire late Saturday raged for four hours as firefighters tried to put it out, the Lebanese civil defense said.
The fire ensued following a fight between a Lebanese family in al-Miniyeh in the country's north and Syrians living in the camp, according to Lebanese media reports.
