A top UN aid official pleaded Tuesday for more international support for Leba**n, which is staggering under the burden of sheltering nearly a million refugees from Syria. "It is imperative that the international community helps bear the brunt of the pressure on Leba**n," said Ross Mountain, the UN aid coordinator in the country. "Leba**n is the largest per capita recipient of refugees anywhere in the world," he told reporters in Geneva. The influx of nearly one million Syrian refugees, according to UN figures, has swollen Leba**n's population by 25 percent since the war broke out across the border in March 2011.
