Syrian refugees wait to receive food, clothes and blankets from the Bulgarian Red Cross at a refugee center in Sofia on October 3, 2013. Boris Cheshirkov, spokesman for the UN Refugee Agency in Bulgaria, warned this week about food shortages in the shelters. In an accommodation centre near Sofia, one blanket had to be shared between three people, he said. More than two million people have fled Syria since the war broke out there in 2011, mostly to neighbouring Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan and Iraq. DIMITAR DILKOFF/AFP/Getty Images ( 523481089 )
