Geneva (AFP) - More than four million Syrians have fled the civil war ravaging their country to become refugees in the surrounding region -- a million of them in the past 10 months alone, the United Nations said Thursday.
"This is the biggest refugee population from a single conflict in a generation," UN refugee chief Antonio Guterres said in a statement.
"It is a population that needs the support of the world but is instead living in dire conditions and sinking deeper into poverty," he said. The UN refugee agency said a surge in new refugee arrivals in Turkey had pushed the total number of Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries to over 4,013,000 people.
what's funny is that shithole actually has 17 million and with this civil war maybe it'll cut the population down, afterward the country gets new management.
