in meeting with 'Shabiha' pro-Assad's militia in the Shi'ite villages of Nobbol
and Zahra.

make of your villages the capital of the countryside''.

internally displaced, while nearly two million have fled to neighboring
countries.

the need for assistance on an unprecedented scale, both to meet the needs of
the refugees and of host communities, and to assist the Lebanese authorities

refugee influx," it said in the statement.
