280 Palestinian families from Syria sheltered in the Turkish city of Bursa suffer from dire humanitarian conditions as a result of price inflation, exorbitant house rents, and the lack of access to the local labor market.
The absence of humanitarian and cash aid by UNRWA and the High Commissioner for Refugees, among other international organizations, has made the situation far more alarming.
Turkey’s currency inflation, which rose by nearly 80% year on year, has affected the humanitarian condition of thousands of Palestinian refugees who fled war-torn Syria. The refugees continue to grapple with soaring food and energy costs.
Food prices in the country of 84 million rose 91.6% year on year, the country’s statistics agency reported, bringing into sharp view the pain that regular consumers and vulnerable communities face as supply chain problems, rising energy costs and Russia’s war in Ukraine feed into global inflation.
Economic analysts expect the trajectory for Turkey’s inflation will only get worse.
Unofficial statistics indicate that 10,000 Palestinians from Syria have sought shelter in Turkey, where they have been facing dire socio-economic conditions and denied access to the local labor market.
Turkish embassies continue to prevent Palestinian refugees from Syria from obtaining visas. As a result, hundreds of Palestinians have embarked on life-threatening journeys via illegal immigration roads to reach Turkey, fleeing war-tattered Syria, among other war-stricken zones.
