The Lebanese Ministry of Education says that 77% of public schools are out of service, either because they are used as shelters or because they are located in areas directly affected by the war.

Between September 23 and October 16, Lebanese General Security registered 331,834 Syrian citizens and 129,338 Lebanese citizens who crossed the border from Lebanon into Syria
