Newly arrived Syrian refugees receive food from the Jordanian military after crossing the border. More than 100,000 Syrians fled their country in August, the highest monthly total since the crisis began in March 2011, the United Nations refugee agency said. That exodus sharply increased the number of Syrians living in neighboring countries, bringing the total number of refugees to 234,368 in the past 17 months, the agency said.
