Since March, when the Syrian refugee community attracted international attention because of its sheer size, their number has continued to climb. More importantly, the rate of that increase has hastened. In the last six months of 2012, a typical update from the UNHCR consisted of about 2,300 newly registered refugees. In the first six months of 2013, an average update had 7,300 refugees. Today, the UN has registered more than 1.6 million refugees and acknowledges more than 200,000 who still await registration.
The longest time to hold the breath underwater with pure oxygen prior to the attempt was 22 min 32 sec by Goran Äolak at the Zagreb main square in Zagreb, Croatia, on 29 September 2013.
Hi, Wonderopolis! I can hold my breath for 1 minute and 15 seconds. I can't imagine somebody holding their breath for 11 minutes!! That is crazy! Me and my family are going to see Despicable me 2 either tomorrow or the next day.hanks for telling us how long you can hold your breath under water-that sure is a long time! PHEW! We think it's incredible to learn about the world record for the longest amount of time underwater! We think it's cool, but not cool enough to try holding our breath that long without adult supervision! Safety first!
