Nicosia accuses Beirut of laxity in the fight against illegal immigration. Nearly 800,000 Syrian refugees are registered with the United Nations in Lebanon.
Their real number would be one and a half million, according to the Lebanese authorities, or 1/5th of the population. The international community refuses to support a Lebanese plan aimed at organizing the return of refugees and displaced people before a political solution to the Syrian conflict.
