Severe Winter Storm in Eastern Mediterranean
The worst winter storm in two decades has hit the eastern Mediterranean this week, bringing destruction and death to Syria and its neighbours who are already dealing with a refugee crisis from the country's civil war. Many Syrians living in ruins, were burning chairs and doors to keep warm.
Opposition activists in Syria, where war has forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes and cut off access to food, fuel and power for cities and towns, say dozens of people have died there in four days of relentless extreme weather.
At least 17 people have also died due to the storm in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Israel and the Palestinian territories. Roads in Lebanon were washed away and electricity cut. Schools in some areas have been shut for days, refugee camps flooded and villages isolated by closed roads.
