We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of

His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej

With his unparalleled leadership, His Majest played,

for 70 years and throughout his life, a pivotal role not only
in Thailands rural and human development but also in
securing peace and stability within the Kingdom.

We would like to express our deepest sympathy and

heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family, the Government
and the people of Thailand. His Majestys legacy and
devotion to his people will long be remembered.

3 Mireille Girard, UNHCR Representative for Lebanon and former
Representative for UNHCR in Thailand, explains intense
3 Syrian refugee situations in Lebanon. Lebanon currently
hosts over onemillion refugees from Syria who have been
4 living over five years in exile. The number has been increasing
at large scale since 2011; from 15,000 to a million people
within sixyears. They have lost almost everything and over
70% live under the poverty line and struggle to survive. One of
UNHCRs core assistance is to provide safe shelter as it is a
criticallife-savinginterventionin times of displacement.Winter
can be very cold in Lebanon. It is also key to restoring personal
security, self-sufficiency and dignity. However, with the limited
budget, UNHCR has to prioritizeits assistanceto the most
vulnerable groups such as families with very smallchildren,
single mothers and persons with disability or chronic diseases.
