'He left people to die'
3-year-old Sarah was abandoned by her smugglers in a snowy blizzard. But she survived.
Two weeks ago today, 16 Syrians, including several children, died trying to get across the mountains from Syria into Lebanon. They used a route taken by many thousands before them, but they were caught in an icy blizzard and froze to death, abandoned by their smugglers. There were few survivors. But as our Middle East correspondent, Martin Patience reports, one little girl did make it out alive.
