Leba**n's Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil warned Friday the Syrian refugee crisis may lead to "strife" in the tiny Mediterranean country between Syrians and Lebanese, should it remain unsolved. "If the situation continues to develop in this direction, there will be strife between the Lebanese and the Syrians." To highlight the scale of the influx, Bassil compared it to transferring the entire population of Romania to Britain or France. Hosting more than 1.1 million Syrians fleeing their country's three-year war, Leba**n is home to the highest number of Syrian refugees in the region, and also to the highest refugee population per capita in the world. Bassil spoke at a news conference focusing on the refugee crisis a day after the United Nations warned that Syrian refugees will comprise more than a third of Leba**n's population by the end of 2014.
