AGPS hailed, in a press statement, a decision by the Syrian government approving the return of displaced families to Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Damascus, after they have gone homeless for over five years.
The decision was announced by Syria’s deputy Foreign Minister Faysal Miqdad.
AGPS called on the Syrian government to opt for practical measures in order for the new decision to materialize on the ground and rehabilitate infrastructure along with power, water, sanitation, and telecommunication networks.
AGPS stressed the need to dispatch engineers to defuse mines so as to pave the way for the safe return of the residents and smooth the entry of reconstruction materials.
AGPS urged the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestine Liberation organization (PLO) to keep in touch with the concerned authorities in order to secure a safe return to the camp and make sure the refugees do not get harassed or chased down upon their return.
AGPS appealed to UNRWA to reconstruct its facilities, including schools and clinics, which were destroyed in the warfare.
The group also called on the international community and donor countries to boost UNRWA funding in light of the ad hominem campaigns and sanctions imposed on the refugee agency.
A couple of days earlier, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Faysal AlMiqdad said the Syrian government signaled the go-ahead for the return of Palestinian refugees to Yarmouk Camp.
He added that a number of parties and governments have been obstructing Palestinians’ return to their camps, denying reports about the intent of the Syrian government to deport Palestinian refugees.
Miqdad also stated that the Syrian government welcomes any endeavors by UNRWA or the PA to contribute to the reconstruction of Yarmouk Camp.
Media chief at the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)-General Command (GC), Anwar Raja, also said that his party has officially been updated on the decision by the Syrian government, adding that the return process will be carried out along “well-planned moves.
