The Syrian displacement movement to Lebanon went down by 75 percent during the first quarter of the current year, said the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

In its weekly report, the UNHCR said that about 38,000 Syrian refugees entered Lebanon during the first quarter of this year.

Lebanon is host to nearly 1.2 million Syrian refugees, representing around a quarter of the country’s total population.

The massive influx since the start of the Syria crisis in March 2011 has seen refugees settle in every corner of the country, putting a huge strain on stretched services and infrastructure.
