The war in Iraq has caused an estimated 2.5 million Iraqis to flee their homeland. One point five million of those refugees are now living in Syria. The head of the UN's refugee agency said the Iraqis in Syria are running out of money and options. The United Nations says if the international community doesn't provide enough relief support, many Iraqi refugees could try to move to European Union nations. Zack Baddorf has more from Damascus.
