A UN-backed survey has found that the number of civilians uprooted inside Syria has jumped by some 230,000 since the start of the uprising last year.
A report by the Norwegian Refugees Council and the Geneva-based Internal Displacement Monitoring Center says over 600,000 #people are now internally displaced inside Syria, including some 400,000 from the country's 1967 war with Israel.

Tens of thousands more have fled to neighboring countries, making them officially refugees.

The increase makes Syria the country with the #eighth highest number of internally displaced people in the world.
