On the 67th anniversary of UNRWA founding and in light of the simmering violence, deadly hostilities, human rights violations endured by the Palestinians of Syria, AGPS calls on UNRWA to take urgent action.
AGPS is deeply concerned over the serious repercussions of the security mayhem rocking Palestinian refugee camps in Syria. At least 3,400 Palestinian refugees died of war-related incidents in embattled Syria while dozens of others have been subjected to forced displacement.
AGPS urges UNRWA, as an eye-witness to the plight endured by the Palestinians of Syria and as an internationally-recognized NGO, to lend a hand to the displaced refugees until they return to their homes.
We, AGPS staff members, appeal to UNRWA to keep up its cash and food aids to the displaced Palestinian refugees who fled from war-torn Syria to such neighboring territories as Lebanon, Jordan, and Gaza.
UNRWA should also work on enhancing the quality and quantity of distributed food and backtrack on its decision to cut relief services for the refugees.
UNRWA is also required to provide the Palestinians of Syria with physical and legal protection and to urgently work on creating job opportunities.
We further call on the agency to expand its fields of operations and try to reach out to such countries as Egypt and Turkey, among others, in coordination with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
