The Turkish Association in Solidarity with Palestine (FIDAR) honoured 25 students, including 21 Palestinian refugees from Syria.
This came in a ceremony held in Mersin on July 03 for Palestinian refugee students and schoolchildren aged between four and 24.
FIDAR’s representative in Mersin Mahmoud Msheinesh said the celebration comes as part of ongoing efforts to boost Palestinian refugees’ academic output.
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.
