As the holy Eid AlIdhha (Feast of Sacrifice) has been celebrated by Muslims across the globe, Palestinian refugees in northern Syria have been deprived of the joy ordinarily sparked by such an occasion.
In a place where neither vital facilities nor leisure amenities are made available, the advent of Eid meant that dozens of displaced Palestinian and Syrian families spend the occasion in their poorly-equipped tents.
“The war took away our families and friends from us”, a displaced Palestinian refugee told AGPS. “Now we’re sharing our pain and joy with our new friends and neighbors in the displacement camp”.
Another refugee said: “Eid comes in the midst of a darkness and sorrow sparked by displacement, despair, and economic hardship”.
Hundreds of Palestinian and Syrian families who have been forcibly deported to northern Syria have been grappling with an abject humanitarian situation as most of them have been taking cover in underequipped tents and denied access to vital facilities and services.
