Winter compounds Syrian refugees' misery

A Syrian refugee gestures outside his flooded tent at a temporary refugee camp in the eastern Lebanese Town of Al-Faour near the border with Syria, Lebanon, Jan. 8, 2013. Two Syrian refugee encampments in Lebanons eastern Bekaa valley were completely immersed in water on Jan. 8 after the Litani river flooded and the water came pouring into their tents. The flood forced dozens of Syrian refugees to leave in search for alternative shelter along with their water-soaked and muddied belongings.
