Why did Syrian refugees set themselves on fire at the United Nations branch in Lebanon?

65438+ 10 10, a Syrian refugee whose aid was cut off for four months set himself on fire in the United Nations branch in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli.

According to Eastnet, the United Nations said that the staff of the branch immediately came forward to provide first aid and rushed him to the hospital. The doctor said, "One third of his body was burned and he needed treatment for at least two months."

The UNHCR and the World Food Program said that 43-year-old Ziboao set himself on fire in the UN branch in Tripoli. He fled from Aleppo to Lebanon with his wife and four children. His wife said that he had no money to eat and was heavily in debt since the United Nations cut off aid four months ago. Zibo spent most of his time looking for a job.

According to the United Nations, this incident shows that most refugees face pressure and difficulties, which makes them more prone to collapse and take such extreme actions. The United Nations had previously cut off aid to some Syrian families, hoping to leave it to families in greater need.
