A vigil was staged on February 19 by the residents of AlNeirab Camp in Aleppo outside of UNRWA’s office in AlNeirab, protesting the UN Agency’s decision to hand over aids only to the poorest families in 2019. The decision implies that thousands of Palestinian families will not be included on the Agency’s aid list.
The rally-goers urged the agency to reconsider its “unfair” decision and to work on securing sources of income for the displaced families. They added that UNRWA should keep up its services for Palestine refugees, dubbing the Agency a living witness of the Palestinian tragedy.
Residents of AlNeirab Camp have been grappling with dire socio-economic conditions as a result of the price hike, high rates of unemployment, and absence of relief assistance. Frequent power and water blackouts along with the acute dearth in gas and fuel supplies have made the situation far more alarming in the area.
