"It's been raining for four days and we do not know what to do. Our kids are suffering," he said.
This is not the first time that Syrian refugees suffer from cold weather and floods due to heavy rain.
Last month, around 300 Syrian refugees were evacuated from their camps in Akkar to other neighboring camps after being flooded with rainwater.
Khaled commented on refugees' complaints, saying that "most refugees" are receiving humanitarian support in Lebanon, and the UNHCR is trying to meet all refugees' needs which is not an easy task.
"It took us time to reach these people," she said, adding that UNHCR is working with Lebanese authorities to focus on people who have their tents completely destroyed in a bid to move them to other places.
"Lots of these refugees are living in very bad conditions, and I understand when they say they do not receive enough help," she said.
Khaled noted that the UNHCR's program will continue until March, and the World Food Programme is also assisting more than 70 percent of Syrian refugees in Lebanon by distributing food.
A report issued on Jan. 7 by the UNHCR showed that the agency, in cooperation with other humanitarian agencies, has been distributing Core Relief Items, including blankets and mattresses, clothes and drainage kits, all over Lebanon.
More than 1 million Syrian refugees have registered with the UNHCR in Lebanon, while the government estimates the true number of Syrians in Lebanon at 1.5 million.
