A Syrian refugee child cried at the Al Zaatri refugee camp in the Jordanian city of Mafraq, near the border with Syria, Aug. 3. The Al Zaatri camp is one of many set up along the border between Jordan and Syria under the management of the United Nations refugee agency and with the help of local charity groups.

BEIRUT — Refugees from Syria are in “complete darkness” about their future, said an official with Caritas Lebanon.

Father Simon Faddoul, president of Caritas Lebanon, which has been working with Syrian refugees in Lebanon for 14 months, said there was a large influx of people during the last week of July as more than 20,000 refugees fled violence in Damascus and Homs.
