The Independent Human Rights Commission discussed, with the secretary of the Gaza-based Ministry of Social Development, the situation of Palestinian refugees who returned from war-torn Syria to the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Secretary of the Social Development Ministry, Dr. Yousef Ibrahim, said serious and practical measures should be taken vis-à-vis the refugees’ cause, which is a moral and national responsibility that all parties should live up to.
Dr. Yousef vowed to keep up efforts to provide the refugees with vital services, including social insurance and health care.
The meeting comes days after the Follow-Up Committee of Refugees from Syria in Gaza and Palestinian refugees who returned to Gaza agreed on tasking the Independent Human Rights Commission with keeping tabs on the situation of Gaza returnees and speaking up for their cause before the concerned bodies.
