The committee speaking on behalf of the displaced Palestinian refugees from Syria in Jordan lashed out at UNRWA for turning its back on the refugees’ demands, which they voiced during their last sit-in outside of the agency’s office in Amman.
A letter handed over to the refugees and signed by the Director of UNRWA Operations in Jordan, Roger Davies, said the cash aids allotted to the refugees, estimated at $28 (20 Jordanian dinars) distributed every three months, meet their basic needs, including food, rental fees, and power/water charges.
The committee called for the need to increase the aids to 85 Jordanian dinars, hand the sum on a monthly basis, shell out rent and water/power fees, and treat the displaced Palestinian and Syrian families evenly.
The committee threatened to step up protest moves in case UNRWA does not live up to its responsibilities at the soonest time possible.
Some 17,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria have been taking shelter in Jordan, fleeing war-ragged Syria.
