Palestinian refugees displaced from Syria in Lebanon have called on international humanitarian organizations and human rights institutions to take urgent action in response to the dire socio-economic condition and abject poverty they have been grappling with in the Lebanese territories.
The refugees denounced UNRWA’s latest decision to cut aid for PRS and suspend shelter and food grants.
AGPS media chef Fayez Abu Eid said the latest UNRWA decision to cut aid for PRS is a sign of apathy regarding the abject humanitarian condition already endured by PRS in displacement camps across the Lebanese territories.
The decision is also a serious breach of UNRWA’s humanitarian mission as mandated by the UN and the Agency’s promise to assist Palestinian refugees in its five fields of operation, including Lebanon.
Abu Eid called PRS families in Lebanon to keep up their protest moves and speak up for their rights pending their return to their homeland.
Starting 2022, UNRWA decided that multi-purpose monthly cash grants of 100 USD to every registered family be reduced to 25 USD per person.
A number of NGOs leveled heavy criticism at the Agency, saying the new measures would result in further despair for PRS.
