Palestinian refugee Ayman Daouah, displaced from Syria’s Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, has appealed for urgent humanitarian action, saying his son’s health condition has sharply deteriorated as has been denied admission into Turkish hospitals.
Ayman said hospitals refused to let his child in on account that the family does not hold the kimlik temporary protection card.
The refugee added that his child’s health condition has taken a turn for the worse due to a medical error and a botched surgery he underwent in Istanbul.
Hundreds of PRS have been unable to provide for their children and families in Turkey. A large number of companies, factories, and shops shut their doors for fear of further COVID-19 contaminations. Several Palestinian families have lost their sole sources of income as a result.
Unofficial statistics indicate that 10,000 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.
