Geneva, Ramadan 22, 1436, July 09, 2015, SPA -- The intensifying Syrian crisis has pushed the number of refugees fleeing the country above 4 million, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said Thursday in Geneva, according to dpa. The number has increased by 1 million to more than 4,013,000 in the past 10 months. In addition, there are 7.6 million Syrians who have fled from their homes but have stayed within their country. "It is a population that needs the support of the world but is instead living in dire conditions and sinking deeper into poverty," said Antonio Guterres, the UN high commissioner for refugees. --SPA 12:47 LOCAL TIME 09:47 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
