Hundreds of Palestinian refugees living in Syria have fled to Lebanon after clashes broke out between supporters and opponents of President Bashar al Assad in a district of Damascus.
They came in buses and cars piled high with belongings, according to one eye-witness at the border yesterday.
A Lebanese security source said the refugees from the Yarmouk camp in Damascus had tried to flee on Sunday but the road was blocked by fighting.
