Lebanon hosts some 987,000 refugees from Syria’s seven-year conflict, 490,000 of whom are children of school age (from three to 18 years old). About 220,000 Syrian children attend lessons – as part of the second shift system or in morning classes alongside Lebanese pupils – but more than half are not in school. http://www.unhcr.org/news/stories/2018/6/5b321c864/lebanon-puts-extra-shift-syrian-refugees-school.html Information for media: If you would like to use this video to communicate refugee stories or require B-Roll, transcripts, stills or much more information, please contact [email protected]. --- Keep up to date with our latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/unhcr?sub_confirmation=1 -- UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, works to protect and assist those fleeing war and persecution.
