Syrian Woman Says Hungarian Refugee Camp "Only Fit for Animals" 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Conditions at a Hungarian refugee camp in Roszke have sparked outrage
after videos showing officers throwing food to people detained in pens
went viral over the weekend. One Syrian woman detained at the camp told
Human Rights Watch it was "only fit for animals." Meanwhile, British
Prime Minister David Cameron is visiting refugee camps in Lebanon today,
where he is pledging an additional $150 million in aid to help Syrian
refugees hosted in the region. More than 1 million Syrian refugees live
in Lebanon — making up a full quarter of Lebanon's population.
Cameron's visit comes as the United Nations warns the conditions for
refugees in Lebanon and Jordan are so dire that some are considering
returning to Syria.
