> Lebanon had the second largest number of Syrian refugees after Turkey
And the most, per capita. (1M Syrians to 7M Lebanese means 13% or so of the people in Lebanon right now are Syrian refugees; Turkey has 3.6M across 83M, or 4%)
In both cases, the burden that these countries (and others like Jordan and Germany) are bearing, in response to the humanitarian apocalypse that is Syria right now, is very impressive. But 13% is absolutely staggering.
