Palestinian refugees in Syria have called on UNRWA to increase humanitarian aid and cash grants and to deliver them to the concerned refugees on a monthly rather than a trimestrial basis.
UNRWA provides assistance to over 438,000 registered Palestinian refugees in Syria. Some 13,500 others remain in hard-to-reach or inaccessible zones in northern Syria.
The assistance includes cash and in-kind items. Throughout the conflict, the most vulnerable Palestine refugees in/from Syria have been struggling for survival.
The sharp decrease in the exchange rate of the Syrian pound compared to the USD and PRS lack of access to the local labor market have made UNRWA’s assistance quite insufficient, especially for vulnerable families, families with members with special needs, and female-headed households.
The price leap has overburdened the cash-stripped refugees. House rents have also seen a striking leap from previous years.
