Palestinian refugee from Syria Zein Ibrahim AlAli won the third place in a school karate contest (55 kg) staged in Turkey by the Turkish Karate Federation, in partnership with the Directorate of Youth and Sports.
The event was held on Tuesday, May 21, at the sports hall in Kayasehir. Zein grew up in Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, in Damascus.
Unofficial statistics indicate that 8,000 Palestinians from Syria have sought shelter in Turkey, where they have been facing dire socio-economic conditions and denied access to the local labor market.
Turkish embassies continue to prevent Palestinian refugees from Syria from obtaining visas. As a result, hundreds of Palestinians have embarked on life-threatening journeys via illegal immigration roads to reach Turkey, fleeing war-tattered Syria, among other war-stricken zones.
