A Syrian girl waves from the balcony of an unfinished apartment block in northern Lebanon.
There are over 800,000 Syrian refugees in Lebanon now; around 400,000 of them are children. Most of them are living in makeshift shelters and tents, but some families are renting apartments like this if they can afford to. Conditions are still basic though, as the buildings are unfinished and unfurnished. Many apartments are shared by 2 or 3 families.
The UK is provideing winter tents, warm clothing and heaters as part of an allocation of nearly £90 million to help hundreds of thousands of Syrians, especially children, cope with the onset of winter.
