A Christian Iraqi refugee in Beirut, Lebanon

A Christian Iraqi refugee in Beirut, Lebanon.  Many Christian Iraqi families have fled sectarian violence to seek refuge among Christian Lebanese populations.  According to UNHCR, most of these families are leaving Iraq for good.  They no longer feel that Christians have a place in Iraq and are seeking a home elsewhere.  In Beirut, they wait for months, and sometimes years, for resettlement in the US, Canada or Europe, where they feel they will finally be able to rebuild their lives.
