Palestinian refugees from Syria in Lebanon held a vigil outside of UNRWA’s clinic in Bar Elias, in AlBekaa region. Representatives of Palestinian factions and popular Palestinian committees have been in attendance.
The refugees denounced the mistreatment and discrimination they have faced during aid distribution, urging the Agency to shell out their cash grants and deliver food assistance.
They further appealed to the international community and donor countries convening in New York on June 23 to meet their financial pledges to the cash-strapped Agency.
The rally-goers called on UNRWA to implement an emergency plan, opt for a sustainable relief plan, and provide the refugees with healthcare services, particularly at such a coronavirus-hit stage.
The refugees handed over a memorandum comprising a list of demands to UNRWA’s Commissioner General and the Agency’s Director of Lebanon operations. The memorandum was received by director of UNRWA’s clinic in Bar Elias, Dr. Mahmoud Refa’i.
