Thousands of Syrians have fled the unrest in their country since the beginning of protests against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in mid-March 2011.

The Syrian regime has repeatedly blamed “armed terrorist groups” for the unrest and said weapons were being smuggled to Syria through Lebanon.
