Palestinian refugees and activists in Syria have called on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to take urgent humanitarian action regarding the dire humanitarian condition they have been enduring in displacement camps across war-torn Syria.
In appeals circulated on social media networks, representatives of the Palestine refugee community said their situation has taken a turn for the worse due to delays in UNRWA aid delivery.
Refugees have called on UNRWA to pay their cash aid on a monthly basis, saying cash assistance represents a lifeline for the cash-stripped families who have been struggling with multiple hardships inflicted by protracted displacement and the absence of legal protection.
Today, 90 per cent of the nearly 440,000 Palestine refugees who remain in Syria live in absolute poverty. Eleven years of conflict, displacement, soaring inflation, and loss of livelihoods all make their life untenable.
