NGOs and relief institutions handed over meat portions to Palestinian refugees across war-ravaged Syria.
The Palestine Commission for Relief and Development in partnership with the Islamic Organization for Relief of Orphans and Poor People handed over meat to 15,000 displaced families in opposition-held zones in northern Syria.
At the same time, Muhjat AlQuds Foundation distributed meat to orphans’ families and vulnerable people in government-held zones, including Qudsaya, Jaramana, Khan Dannun, AlTal, AlDhiabiya, and Khirbet AlShiyab.
Ten years after demonstrations started in Syria, the majority of Palestinian refugees sheltered in the war-torn country have been grappling with an abject humanitarian situation.
UN data indicates that over half of the Palestine refugees in the country have been displaced at least once because of the brutal conflict that ensued, including 120,000 who have sought safety in neighbouring countries, mainly Lebanon and Jordan, and beyond;
Once a vibrant community of over 550,000 people, Palestinians had come to Syria in two main waves in 1948 and 1967 to settle in 12 camps across the country. Yarmouk, the most famous of the Palestine refugee camps, became known as “the capital of Palestine refugees.”
438,000 Palestine refugees remain in the country – 91 per cent of whom live in absolute poverty - and who have been among those worst affected by the conflict.
