Palestinian Refugee Families in Damascus Facing Calamitous Fate

Palestinian Refugee Families in Damascus Facing Calamitous Fate

Nine years into the Syrian conflict, Palestinian refugees living in the war-torn country continue to face unbearable hardship and security threats.

This has been the case for the residents of Jober neighborhood in Damascus, who have been increasingly chased down in arbitrary arrest sweeps. A number of residents have been extra-judicially executed; others fled to neighboring countries or risked their lives onboard “death boats” trying to get to safety to European destinations.

A large number of families have become internally displaced across Damascus and its suburbs at the same time as their appeals to return to their homes have gone unheeded by the Syrian government and concerned institutions.

Almost all of Jober’s structures, buildings, mosques, and groceries have been reduced to rubble in the military operations launched by the Syrian government forces and their Russian partners.

In the best of cases, displaced families are allowed to stay for 15 minutes in the neighborhood to inspect their homes and property in return for money given to government officers deployed at checkpoints pitched around the area.

Nearly 10,000 Palestinian refugees, mostly from northern occupied Palestine, have been taking shelter in Jober neighborhood.
