Lebanon Not Granting Refugee Status to Syrians, Halts New Camps - Minister

 Lebanese authorities have decided not to grant refugee status to arriving Syrians and to halt the creation of new tent camps in the country, the social affairs minister in Lebanon's caretaker government, Hector Hajjar said.

"Lebanon is not creating new refugee camps and is not granting refugee status to Syrian citizens … Lebanon is accepting citizens from Syria solely for a limited period," Hajjar said.

The return of Syrian refugees to their homeland is the most optimal solution and a way to build trust with Syria's new government within the political process, the minister said.
