Two Syrian children killed when their house’s ceiling collapsed

Two Syrian children, identified as 6-year-old Jackline Riad Mahmoud and 3-year-old Lava Riad Mahmoud were killed early on Wednesday while their father was slightly injured when part of their house's ceiling collapsed.

The Syrian family was living in an old two-story building in the town of Hezerta in Zahle.

The incident underscored the perils facing the nearly 1.4 million Syrians who have escaped the fighting to seek refuge in neighboring Lebanon.

Many of the impoverished Syrians have crowded into shacks, tents and unfinished structures that offer meager shelter from the bitter cold, with no running water or electricity.

Syria's war has displaced nearly 9 million people, including 2.3 million refugees.
