70% of Syria refugees in Lebanon live in 'extreme poverty'

70% of Syria refugees in Lebanon live in 'extreme poverty':
Based on an assessment of more than 4,000 refugee households, the report found that an estimated 70 percent of them are living below the Lebanese extreme poverty line of $3.84 per day. "This is a striking increase from 49 per cent in 2014," Mireille Girard, head of the UN refugee agency's Lebanon office, told AFP.
