"In Jordan, refugees (mostly from Syria, but also from other countries) now make up around a tenth of the population (600,000 people in a population of 6 million) and across the border in Lebanon, in a country roughly the size of greater Melbourne, the situation is even worse. One estimate predicts a third of the population in Lebanon will be refugees by Christmas. Over the past two years, well over a million people have crossed borders and entered these two small countries, and these are just the refugees who are known and documented."
