2 Fires Tear Through Syrian Refugee Camps in Lebanon, Killing 1 Girl
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Lebanon, two separate fires tore through Syrian refugee camps in
recent days, killing at least one girl and injuring nearly two dozen
others. On Sunday, a fire burned the camp housing hundreds of refugees
in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley to the ground. Another fire broke out Tuesday
at a nearby camp. Meanwhile, the Lebanese army raided two Syrian refugee
camps near the border with Syria on Friday. Suicide bombers attacked the
army during the raids. At least one small girl was killed in the
conflict.
