Social Workers Suhad Aboud, from the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said the eleven-year Syrian war has had a tragic impact on Palestinian refugees sheltered in the country.
Unemployment, debts, high levels of poverty, overcrowded dwellings, food insecurity, loss of livelihoods, and economic hardship have had a heavy toll on the Palestinian refugee community in the war-torn country.
According to UNRWA, the full humanitarian impact of the conflict remains impossible to catalog. Once again, Palestine refugees found themselves engulfed in a cycle of conflict and displacement that exacerbates their underlying vulnerability. “The tide of human suffering unleashed by the conflict has catastrophic implications,” said Suhad.
Like hundreds of thousands of other Palestine refugees, 44-year-old Suhad was displaced from her home in Yarmouk camp in 2012. When she recalled the days of fleeing, she, her husband and son endured great heartache. “I know that, like death, I didn’t know where to go when leaving Yarmouk. I know that our pain is overwhelming”.
