Palestinian refugees displaced from Syria in Lebanon have called on UNRWA 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, urging the agency to cancel the decision and deliver winter aid to vulnerable families.
Starting 2022, UNRWA decided that multi-purpose monthly cash grants of 100 USD to every registered family be reduced to 25 USD per person, resulting in further despair for PRS.
At the same time, dozens of displaced Palestinian families from Syria in the Lebanese AlBekaa region urged UNRWA to hand them much-needed humanitarian aid with the advent of a freezing winter season.
Palestinian families taking refuge in AlBekaa have been struggling for survival in the face of the sub-zero temperatures rocking the mountainous region and the rain downpours swamping their poorly-equipped tents.
The price leap and steep rental fees, along with the absence of relief aids, have made life unbearable for the Palestinian refugees in AlBekaa.
Some 27,000 Palestinians from Syria have sought refuge in Lebanon, where they have been enduring exacerbated living conditions and subjected to a precarious legal status.
