Lebanese Authorities Struggling to Cope with Refugees

Lebanon has been facing a severe refugee crisis for four years, with over a million Syrians seeking refuge in the country. The Red Cross is distributing food for the first time due to dwindling funds from the UN and other agencies. Many refugees are desperate to leave Lebanon as living conditions worsen. The country's capacity to handle the crisis is reaching a breaking point, exacerbated by political instability and economic collapse.
