The Independent Commission for Human Rights -- Grievances Bureau in the besieged Gaza Strip embarked on a media campaign to push for rehabilitating the rights of the Palestinian refugees who returned to Gaza from war-torn Syria.
The commission called for a mass participation in an e-campaign launched on social media networks through the hashtag “refugees from Syria in Gaza”.
The commission raised alarm bells over the dire socio-economic and humanitarian conditions endured by the Palestinian refugees in the blockaded Gaza Strip after UNRWA suspended its shelter allowances.
At the same time, the refugees spoke up, in tweets and posts bearing the hashtag “refugees from Syrian in Gaza, for their right to labor opportunities in accordance with Article 17 of the 1951 Refugee Convention and their right to social insurance as guaranteed by the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
More than 50 years of Israeli occupation and 11 years of blockade have made the lives of nearly 2 million Palestinians living inside the besieged Gaza Strip unbearable.
1,000 Palestinians from Syria have returned to the enclave, a place that has been referred to as “the world’s largest open-air prison”.
