Under the title 'UNRWA's Decision of Cutting Shelter Allowance for Palestinians of Syria in Lebanon, and the Possible Scenarios', the AGPS issued a 17pagesspecial report that address the concerns faced by the 44,000 Palestinian Syrian refugees in Lebanon by the UNRWA application of a decision to stop urgent shelter allowance, and its impact on their social security and their legal and humanitarian conditions.
The report explained the situation of the Palestinian Syrian refugees in Lebanon, and expected four possible scenarios for the implementation of this resolution to enter into sit-ins,to accept the fait accompli,to move the mandate of UNRWA to the UNHCR, or the Palestinian Syrian refugees to go towards the Palestinian Lebanese borders.
However, the report preferred the first scenario of putting pressure on UNRWA by all local, regional, and international parties to discourage them from their decisions, due to the availability of possibilities and means to achieve.
The report also addressed the census of Palestinians of Syria in Lebanon with numbers, places, and average. The estimated numbers, according to UNRWA statistics at the end of November 2014 has reached about 44.5 thousand refugees, equivalent to 12 720 families were distributed across the five regions in the Lebanese cities to varying degrees, where the majority of refugees live in rented houses at an average of 200$ inside the camps, and 400 $ outside.
The report concluded with several suggestions and recommendations in order to put pressure on UNRWA in order to withdraw its decisions which are: to take serious and effective steps to form a collective Palestinian mobilization to put pressure on UNRWA by all available means to back down this decision; to demand the international community, the Arab League, the Palestinian Authority, and the host countries for refugees to do what is necessary to preserve and maintain the dignity of the Palestinian refugee, to imbue the mobilization with Palestinian national characteristics; to manage wisely in order to avoid clashes that might occur between Palestinian Syrian refugees with Palestinian Lebanese refugees, and to rapidly provide immediate assistance to the refugee families, especially children, students ,widows and orphans.
