France signs agreements on welcoming refugees living in Lebanon camps

The French government and Christian charities launched on Tuesday (March 14) an effort to bring 500 Syrian and Iraqi refugees to France to prevent them from turning to taking dangerous sea crossings into Europe through traffickers.

 

An agreement signed in Paris at the Elysee presidential palace called for vulnerable refugees to be brought from Lebanon in the coming 18 months as part of the project.
