Hi, welcome to CNN student news. I'm Carl Izoos. US congress is backing session this Monday Sep.9th. Its summer break is over and Senate representives have a major vote facing them. Should the US launch a military strick against Syria ? The Obama administration believe Syria used illegal chemical weapons in its civil war, wants to punish Syria with a military strick. President Obama has asked for congress' approval. He's planning to address the nation tommorrow night in hopes of winning public support. But he is right now he doesn't have it. A number of recent reports have found the most Americans don't want US to attack Syria, regardless of how that turns out. Syria's civil war has affected1 millions. Doctor Rhoghj Gupton takes us to where many Syrians have taken refuge. For Aften Rara, the constent showing in Hums was becoming too much. But after this occured to her little son, four year old Useph, she knew she had to leave. It was an explosion she told me. That led to her burns. She packed up her three sons and what little she had in travel 12 hours mostly by foot to arrive here this camp. It's one of the largest *** along the Syria-Lebanonese border. The youngest son Ala is eight months old and now he is spend half of his life as a refugee. He is severely2 unursed, even though he is breasted.
How difficulty it is to get food ?
It is tough to breast each she tells me. For the mom herslf hasn't had enough to eat. Today they get dressed to * medical attention and back
thighs3 from Maylayria and Polia thanks to UNISA, but making no mistake. Lebane is
buckling4 and the way to the refugees who arrive here every 15 seconds. In this country, there were 4 million. The United Nations say there are some 720,000 registered refugees, but doctores here believe the number to be more than twice that.
More than one at every four people in Lebanon is a refugee. He tells me. And as these people are living in these around communities that are now sending a message to these refugees in these vally camps: this will never be your home, this camp will never be your home. The children's smiles * particularly aweful *. Their stories fling violency of their home country. And then not be wanted in their adopted one. After two years, there are no
fixed5 water facilities or
systematic6 sanitation7 instead just the steady **** making its way through these 5,000 camp. They have lost everything. The material possesions, their dignity, their permanence. To simply live like this, eight groups of refugees in these camp are required 100 US dollars a month to the town share. And the only way to make a work is to send thses young kids into the fields to work for just 2 dollars a day. It is hard ranging. Within these camps, there is constent fection between two groups. Those who support the * and those who hate it. But they do share something in common: they all want to go home. Arki and her 3 sons, they can't wait to leave.
