Actor Alan Cumming spent time with Syrian refugees during his visit to Lebanon.
The 51-year-old actor has joined hands with the UN Refugee
Agency to support the refugees fleeing war-torn Syria, as well as to research the crisis as a whole in the country that hosts over one million displaced and uprooted individuals, reported People magazine.
"At the end of one of the many unbearably heart-breaking stories of the violence, persecution and humiliation the Syrian refugees have escaped from, I threw my arms around a young woman who had just shared her world with me.
"Our translator, a young Lebanese girl who was also in tears, asked me how she should translate a hug, so I hugged her too. This trip has been life- changing. We all have a duty to do more to assist the resettlement and care of these people and to stand #WithRefugees," Cumming said.
During his two day long trip the actor traveled to northern and southern Lebanon to meet with refugees and listen to first-hand stories of those forced to flee their homes.
