Comments: Storm Alexa pushed temperatures below freezing in northern Lebanon and some areas of the Bekaa Valley, which is dotted with informal refugee settlements. The winter weather heaped another layer of misery on the already grim existence of many of the estimated one million Syrians in Lebanon who have fled the civil war raging in their homeland. Many refugees are sheltered in flimsy tents with often only a plastic sheet covering the ground.
