Dozens of Palestinian refugees from Syria have rallied outside of the UNRWA office in Burj AlBarajneh refugee camp, in Beirut, to protest the Agency’s delay in aid delivery.
The refugees called on UNRWA to increase its food aid supplies and transfer their cash grants on time, at a time when prices have skyrocketed in Lebanon.
They further urged the Agency to enhance its vital services for Palestinian refugees and work out their legal situation.
Representatives of the Palestinian refugee community handed over a memorandum to the director of UNRWA operations in Lebanon and called for securing the refugees’ right to legal, physical, and social protection.
The document also demands serious efforts to solve the legal hurdles faced by those who illegally entered Lebanon or those who entered the country after September 16, 2016.
The refugees also called for enhancing healthcare services, easing complicated red tape, and providing free surgeries at local hospitals.
