Syrian refugees are bracing for long, cold months ahead. UNHCR and its partners estimate that some 660,000 refugees in Lebanon are in need of additional assistance during winter to keep warm and dry. Thanks to the generous support of European Commission - Humanitarian Aid & Civil Protection (ECHO), State of Qatar, UK in Lebanon, and U.S. Department of State: Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, UNHCR will be able to provide assistance to 250,000 vulnerable refugees living at cold, higher elevations. UNHCRs US$42 million winter programme consists of a variety of activities and aid items. These include ensuring that sub-standard shelters are sealed off against the elements; and provision of high-thermal blankets, stoves, vouchers and cash to help refugees survive winter.
