by Naharnet Newsdesk



Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi said on Saturday that the situation in Lebanon has become “unbearable” with the presence of more than 1.5 million Syrian refugees and that the country “must not wait for the international community” but should exert strenuous efforts to return the displaced.

“Lebanon can not wait for the international community to return displaced Syrians back to their country because it has its own considerations,” said Rahi.

“We have to work to return them back to their homeland because there are plenty of safe regions in Syria,” he added.

The Patriarch noted that Lebanon is witnessing a “political-security crisis,” adding to the “crisis of refugees and the economic calamity.”

“The situation is unbearable,” he remarked.
