UNRWA in Syria said it will start distributing cash grants to Palestinian refugees as of August 15.
Vulnerable Palestinian refugees sheltered in Damascus will be receiving 112,000 Syrian pounds and an additional 17,000 as a flour allowance.
Families whose living conditions are worse will be receiving 173,000 Syrian pounds.
Refugees sheltered in other provinces across Syria will get 112,000 or 156,000 depending on their condition.
Eleven years after demonstrations started in Syria, some 438,000 Palestinian refugees remain in the war-torn country, where they have been grappling with an abject humanitarian situation.
UNRWA data indicates that over half of the Palestine refugees in the country have been displaced at least once because of the brutal conflict that ensued, including 120,000 who have sought safety in neighbouring countries, mainly Lebanon and Jordan, and beyond.
Over 80% of PRS live in extreme poverty and rely on humanitarian assistance as their main source of income. 86% of PRS households are reported to be in debt.
