AlQuds Charity announced the launch of a medical drive in AlRaml Camp for Palestinian refugees, in Latakia.
Free medical care will be provided to the refugees at the office of the General Authority for Palestinian Arab Refugees (GAPAR) on Wednesday and Thursday (6-7 July) from 10:00 a.m. to 02:00 p.m.
Before the start of conflict in 2011, Latakia Camp was home to less than 11,000 Palestine refugees. It is estimated that at least 2,000 Palestine refugees from the camp have left the country. Like in other Palestine refugee camps in Syria, a large number of families, particularly also younger people, travelled to seek better opportunities and safety abroad. This has also meant that many older Palestine refugees are left by themselves in the camp, contrary to Middle Eastern traditions.
Currently there are around 12,000 Palestine refugees living in and around Latakia, including around 9,000 in Latakia camp. Like in other areas of Syria, displacement, unemployment, inflation, protection and security risks are among the main concerns shared by Palestine refugees and Syrians alike.
