Fatah Movement rehabilitated the Follow-Up Committee of Displaced Palestinians from Syria in Lebanon.
This came in a meeting between a delegation of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the committee’s representatives at the Palestine Embassy in Beirut.
The Follow-Up Committee will cooperate with the PLO and the Palestine Embassy to enhance the precarious legal condition of Palestinians from Syria and urge UNRWA and donor parties to assist them in light of the dire-socio economic conditions inflicted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Over 470,000 refugees are registered with UNRWA in Lebanon. About 45 per cent of them live in the country’s 12 refugee camps. Conditions in the camps are dire and characterized by overcrowding, poor housing conditions, unemployment, poverty and lack of access to justice.
Palestinians in Lebanon do not enjoy several important rights; for example, they cannot work in many professions and cannot own property (real estate). Because they are not formally citizens of another state, Palestine refugees are unable to claim the same rights as other foreigners living and working in Lebanon.
