Refugees found frozen in Lebanon near Syria border

News24xx.com - Nine Syrians froze to death crossing into Lebanon when an icy storm hit a smuggling route in the mountains near a border post with Syria.

The military said in a statement that the bodies were discovered on a people-smuggling route in the early hours of Friday after a snowstorm hit the Masnaa area, where Lebanon's largest official border crossing with Syria is located.

"The army saved six other displaced Syrians, one of whom died later in a hospital from frostbite," the statement added, raising the death toll to 10.

"The bodies were taken to the hospitals in the area, and the army continues to search for other displaced people trapped in the snow, in order to evacuate them and provide medical treatment for them."

A humanitarian activist from Indonesia who settled in Palestine, Abdillah Onim or known Bang Onim, distributed photos of Syrian refugees who died in his instagram account.

Bang Onim's post directly commented by netizens. Most netizens are  praying for refugees who died for martyrdom.
