Fire kills at least three in Syria refugee camp

A fire roared through a Syrian refugee camp in Lebanon.

Three people are reported dead so far.

The camp is outside the town of Qab Elias in Bekaa Valley. Reportedly all 200 tents were entirely consumed. Exploding gas cans spread the flames.

Some 1 million Syrians have fled to Lebanon trying to escape the six-year Syrian civil war. Most of them live in tent camps in Bekaa Valley, just over the Syrian border.
