Tents have been uprooted and others have fallen apart as torrential downpours have swamped Deir Ballout Camp for Palestinian refugees in Jindires in Afrin, north of Syria.
Pictures and videos circulated on social media show dozens of Palestinian refugees lying in the streets, without roofs over their heads, and children shivering of cold.
Refugees have not had a moment’s rest as they have been trying to rinse out the overflow caused by the heavy rain showers.
Over recent weeks, some 350 displaced Palestinian families in Deir Ballout Camp have expressed concerns over their fate as a freezing winter season has been around the corner.
Refugee families and activists have lashed out at the apathy maintained by UNRWA, the Palestinian Authority, and all other concerned bodies regarding their tragic situation.
Sometime earlier, AGPS, in partnership with the Palestinian Return Centre (PRC), sounded the alarm over the situation of the Palestinian refugees north of Syria.
This came in a report passed on to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva on September 19, 2018 as part of the 39th session.
AGPS warned of UNRWA’s dragging of its feet regarding the tragic situation wrought on hundreds of displaced Palestinian families north of Syria and called for serious efforts to secure Palestinians’ legal and physical protection.
The rampant Syrian warfare has had disastrous fallouts on the Palestinian refugees, hundreds of whom have been pronounced dead due to war-related incidents while hundreds of others have been locked up in Syrian government dungeons, where dozens have also been tortured to death.
