PLO Official Calls On UN to Assist Palestinian Refugees in Syria

Director-General of the political department of the Palestine Liberation Organization, ambassador Anwar Abdul Hadi, called on UNRWA and the international community to increase humanitarian aid to Palestinian refugees in the war-torn country.

He said due to defunding of UNRWA, the UN Agency has decreased its aid and cut vital services for Palestinian refugees.

After ten years of conflict, Palestinian refugees in and from Syria continue to face significant humanitarian and protection needs.

In the absence of a durable political settlement, intense hostilities and violence resulting in deaths and injuries, internal displacement, loss of livelihoods, decreases in the provision of public services, and extensive damage to civilian infrastructure have disrupted the lives of civilians and forced thousands to become internally displaced.

UN data indicates that as many as 120,000 Palestine refugees have fled war-stricken Syria since 2011, including 28,000 to Lebanon.

The Syrian conflict has impacted Palestine refugees inside and outside the Syrian territories. There used to be 560’000 countrywide, mainly in Aleppo, Homs, Hama, Latakia, Damascus and Deraa.

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