"We have 10 percent of our population today, in the form of Syrian refugees, it is expected to rise to about 20 to 25 percent given the current rates by the end of this year, and possibly to about 40 percent by the middle of 2014," Judeh said in a meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry at talks in Rome.
