Hundreds of displaced Palestinian families sheltered in AlBadawi Camp, in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli, have launched cries for help over the security mayhem rocking the area due to the uncontrolled circulation of weapons.
Last week, a Syrian woman was fatally shot following an altercation that burst out in the camp.
Palestinian refugees taking shelter in the camp have appealed to the local popular committees to make urgent steps in response to the arbitrary shootouts carried out by gunmen in the camp.
Statistics conducted by local NGOs documented a remarkable decrease in the number of Palestinian families from Syria sheltered in AlBadawi Camp owing to the life-threatening security turmoil along with the dire socio-economic conditions and ambivalent legal status endured by the displaced families.
In its fact sheet entitled “Syria Regional Crisis Emergency
Appeal 2021”, UNRWA said Palestinian refugees from Syria (PRS) in Lebanon are grappling with increased hardship and vulnerability, due to long-term displacement and difficult socio-economic conditions, coupled with the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic,
According to UNRWA, 87% of PRS live in poverty in the Lebanese territories.
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.
