Escaping a civil war that has killed more than 150,000, over 2.8 million Syrian refugees are now hosted across 5 countries.
It is estimated that the number of Syrian refugees in need of assistance across the region may reach 4.1 million by the end of 2014.
It is estimated that the number of Syrian refugees in need of assistance across the region may reach 4.1 million by the end of 2014.
It is anticipated that an additional 1.7 million refugees will have been registered by the end of the year in five host countries: Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt.
The influx of the refugees has been significantly increasing as the conflict enters its fourth year with the humanitarian situation only deteriorating further.
To handle one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history, the UN and other aid agencies say they need more than $4.2bn. However, only a fraction of that amount has been received so far, making it difficult to meet the needs of those who seek safety and that of the host communities.

Lebanon is host to the largest refugee population - about 39 percent - scattered across over 1,500 locations.
Some 67 percent of the refugees rent basic apartments or homes, half of which are overcrowded with several families sharing limited space. Over 30 percent live in substandard and insecure conditions in makeshift shelters, tents, unfurnished buildings, garages, warehouses, and worksites.
Lebanon has the highest concentration of refugees, as a percentage of its population, in the world with refugees now making up about a quarter of the population.

Iraq
225,409 refugees
Iraq hosts about 8 percent of the regional refugee population. Nearly 40 percent of Syrian refugees in Iraq are hosted in camps, mostly in the northern Kurdish region of Dohuk, while 60 percent are living in local communities.
The majority of these are categorised as highly vulnerable, living in substandard accommodations. Iraq's own security challenges have seen ad hoc closure of borders, affecting access to safe haven for refugees travelling across the eastern border.
Nonetheless, the number continues to grow, with an average of 550 Syrian refugees arriving in Iraq each day.
The emergence of polio has been a particular health concern for the refugee population in Iraq.

Egypt
The vast majority of Syrian refugees in Egypt live in rented accommodations in the urban areas of Greater Cairo, Alexandria and Damietta.
Syrians were originally welcomed to Egypt without visa restrictions, but during the military takeover and mass demonstrations in the summer of 2013, that changed, and Syrians faced visa restrictions and harsh security clearance measures, also adding to tensions with the host communities.
A recent assessment found 49 percent of Syrian refugees in Egypt were considering leaving.
