Three Syrian children burned to death in a north Lebanon refugee camp Thursday after their tent caught fire.

Security sources told The Daily Star that a short electrical circuit caused the tent to catch fire, killing children Rawaa, Talal and Sabah Sleiman.

The incident took place in the town of Bhenin in the Minyeh-Dinnieh district of north Lebanon.

Their bodies were transferred to the nearby al-Khair hospital in Minyeh.
