A United Nation official said that as many as 2,000 people feeling the war in Syria were believed to be heading toward Lebonese border on Sunday. This signalled a growing humanitarian crisis in Syrian cities and villages. Turkish offcials have also spoken of increased flows of refugees who were guided by activists and smugglers to several camps in Turkey. Some of the 11-refugee group have said that there was constant and heavy military presence along their way as they fled and that Syrian government had been using helicopters to fight rebels and military defectors. One man who fled Hama with his wife and daughter said: “We do not have any petrol. We do not have any cooking gas. Even if they don’t kill us, we’re going to freeze to death.” It looks like the situation in Syria is prone to deepening crisis.
