More than 100,000 Syrians fled their country in August, the UN says - the highest monthly number of refugees since the conflict began in March 2011.
"These people sought asylum in neighbouring countries," said a spokeswoman for the UN refugee agency.
The rising numbers emerged as Red Cross head Peter Maurer discussed Syria's aid crisis with President Assad.
The escalating fighting in Aleppo and earlier in Damascus has intensified the refugee crisis in Syria. In August, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees estimated that 30,000 people had fled to Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan in the space of a week.
Turkey has taken in more than 80,000 people and there are reports of thousands more waiting at the Syrian border. Jordan says up to 183,000 Syrians have entered the country since the uprising began.
