Displaced Palestinian refugees north of Syria appealed to the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO) Central Council in Ramallah to take urgent action in order to save refugees taking shelter in ramshackle tents with the advent of winter.
The refugees slammed the apathy maintained by the PLO all the way through the eight-year conflict.
“Aren’t we members of the PLO, as decreed by the fourth item of the organization’s charter?” said a refugee. “Following years of tough blockade and undernourishment in such embattled refugee camps as Yamouk, we’ve been thrown into poorly equipped tents after we were forcibly deported from our homes.”
The refugees called on the PLO to take serious steps and hold contacts with such concerned bodies as the PLO’s refugees department, the Palestine Embassy in Turkey, the Turkish government, and UNRWA in order to keep tabs on the situation and save the displaced refugees before it is too late.
Some 350 Palestinian families who were displaced from Yarmouk Camp have been taking shelter in Deir Ballout Camp, in Afrin, north of Syria.
