Residents of Jaramana Camp have urged UNRWA to pressurize AlHaram Company for international transfer to cease mistreatment of Palestinian refugees who show up at the company’s office to withdraw their cash aid.
Speaking with AGPS, a number of refugees said they have been forced to line up for hours in overcrowded queues outside of the company.
Other refugees who live at a considerable distance from the company said they woke up at the crack of dawn to receive their cash grants and avoid overcrowded queues.
“We have been insulted and our dignity attacked as if we were second-class citizens”, said a refugee.
The refugees called on UNRWA to reach out to AlHaram Company and pressurize it to take urgent measures in response to their complaints.
After more than 11 years of conflict, Palestine refugees continue to be one of the most vulnerable groups in Syria with immense humanitarian needs.
This year's Holy Ramadan month has been tougher for Palestinian refugees inside and outside the Syrian territories, as the economic crisis rocking the Middle East means that many PRS have not been able to reunite with or provide for their families.
