Syrian refugees were told in Lebanon, on Saturday, the decision to leave their tents, which located near the gas pipelines and oil pump line that crosses the Sahl Akkar of the Lebanese-Syrian border in the north down to the Tripoli oil facilities in Beddawi.

Refugees who had gathered to protest against the decision, they said, they were told verbally by representatives from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) “it’s necessary to transfer their tents within month maximum”.

They pointing out that «not proposed alternatives for their stay, and they are not able to rent a piece of land to erect their tents where, knowing that they are about the approximately 50 families, residing 4 years ago in these tents».

Commenting on the campaign remove the tents, Mohamad Hossein, media activist, said to ARA News «Recent raids campaign in Akkar camps was caused by what I received information is the set of weapons hidden for some people, then the special forces were able to arrest them, but why other innocent refugees should stay without tents and become homeless».

Hosseini added that «many stories like the last camp story in Akkar, which will be abolished because of its proximity to the oil pipeline, but the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) plans are slow, which is waiting refugees to sleep in the street».
