Palestinians who had been living at Yarmouk refugee camp in Syria arrived at the Lebanese-Syrian border in al-Masnaa on Tuesday.

More than 1,000 Palestinian refugees living in Syria have crossed into Lebanon in the past 24 hours, a source at the Lebanese border said on Tuesday, after Syrian rebels took control of the camp in Damascus.

Syria hosts half a million Palestinian refugees, descendants of those admitted after the creation of Israel in 1948.
