UNRWA: 120,000 Palestine Refugees Fled War-Torn Syria

As many as 120,000 Palestine refugees have fled war-stricken Syria since 2011, including 28,000 to Lebanon, according to Pierre Krähenbühl, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

The Syrian conflict has impacted Palestine refugees inside and outside the Syrian territories, warned Krähenbühl in a March 14 Op-ed published on UNRWA’s official website. “There used to be 560’000 countrywide, mainly in Aleppo, Homs, Hama, Latakia, Damascus and Deraa.”

According to the UN official, today, some 440,000 Palestine refugees remain in Syria, more than half of them are internally displaced, and nearly all require sustained humanitarian assistance.

Krähenbühl said the situation of 28,000 Palestine refugees who fled to Lebanon and 17,000 others to Jordan remains alarmingly calamitous.
