Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Iraq are struck by a wave of frost following the snow storm that hit the region recently. Temperature degrees have sharply dropped where it was stated to reach -10 degrees Celsius in Beqaa, Lebanon. “We turned the stove on and an electrical heater to keep warm. It is freezing! May God help the refugees,” says Rawan Khazaal – a Lebanese citizen living in Baalbeck, Beqaa.
