Palestinian refugees in Syria leveled heavy criticism at a Fatah delegation that showed up in Damascus on January 6, led by the secretary of the group’s Central Committee, Jibril AlRujoub.
The refugees said Fatah leaders have turned blind eyes and deaf ears to the dire humanitarian situation in displacement camps for Palestinian refugees across the Syrian territories.
They added that the situation of PRS has been excluded from Fatah’s agenda and the discussions it has been conducting with the Syrian regime.
Recently, member of Fatah’s central committee, Samir AlRefai, also Palestine’s Ambassador to Syria, told a media platform that the visit falls in line with the 57th anniversary of Fatah founding in Yarmouk Camp. As part of the commemoration ceremony, Rujoub is expected to deliver a speech and to hand over, during a meeting with Syrian Foreign minister, Faysal Miqdad, a letter on behalf of Abbas to the Syrian President about the Palestinian cause and bilateral ties. No reference to the situation of Palestinian refugees in Syria has, however, been made by the delegation.
Palestinian refugees said that instead of holding a festival in the ravaged Yarmouk Camp, Fatah and the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas should rather work on reconstructing the camp and rehabilitating vital facilities in order to enable displaced families to return to their homes and retrieve their property.
They further called on the delegation to pressurize the Syrian regime to facilitate families’ return to Yarmouk Camp at the earliest possible time and reveal the condition and whereabouts of forcibly-disappeared Palestinian refugees in Syria.
