Palestinian refugees working in social development centres and kindergartens run by UNRWA in displacement camps across Syria said they have been receiving very low salaries.
The workers called on the Agency to increase their salaries and pay them on a monthly basis.
According to AGPS data, 30 Palestinian refugees have been working at Social Development centres and kindergartens in Palestinian refugee camps in Syria, some of them for over 25 years. The majority have been receiving an average of 60,000 Syrian pounds (less than 20 USD) per month.
UNRWA has over 30,000 employees, most of them Palestine refugees and a small number of international staff, in two headquarter offices (Gaza and Amman), five field offices (Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and West Bank), and in four Representative/Liaison Offices (New York, Geneva, Brussels and Cairo).
