JAKARTA - The United Nations (UN) revealed as many as 280,000 people fled in just a week since the escalation of war in Syria increased from 27 November.
The United Nations warns that the number of refugees in Syria has the potential to swell to 1.5 million people.
"The number we have is 280,000 people [refuges] since November 27," said Head of Emergency Coordination at the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), Samer Abdel Jaber, to reporters in Geneva, Friday, November 6, quoted from AFP.
"That doesn't include the number of people fleeing Lebanon during the recent escalation" in the fighting there," he added.
The surge in refugees has occurred since the rebel group Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) led by Abu Mohammed al-Golani launched a rapid attack more than a week ago to Syria to bring down the government of Syrian Arab Republic President Bashar al-Assad.
The HTS militant attacks on Turkey, the United States and Israel-backed Syria occurred just as an uncertain ceasefire was set in neighboring Lebanon.
