Palestinian refugee from Syria Alaa Matlab, born in 1984, continues to appeal for urgent medical treatment in Turkey.
Alaa, who fled Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, in Damascus, was injured on January 28, 2021 with high-voltage electrical injury following which he has been hospitalized in Adana city after he fell into a coma.
Alaa’s expectant wife and three children have been left on their own and are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance.
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.
