Syrian Alawite families flee to Lebanon after violence

At least 6,000 Syrians are believed to have crossed into neighbouring Lebanon in the last few days to escape violence in the coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus.

The area is a stronghold of Syria’s ousted former President, Bashar al-Assad, and hundreds of civilians have been killed there by the new government’s security forces.

BBC Beirut correspondent Carine Torbey is in Tal el Bireh – an Alawite border village in Lebanon where Syrians have found shelter.
