Acting Director General of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), Munir Manna, promised, during his meeting with the Joint Palestinian Action Authority in Lebanon, on Tuesday, November 22, to secure fuel for the Palestinian refugee families in the Bekaa region.
Palestinian families taking refuge in AlBekaa have been struggling for survival in the face of the sub-zero temperatures rocking the mountainous region and the rain downpours swamping their poorly-equipped tents.
Families have been left with no option other than burning plastic bottles to keep their children warm, despite the damage wrought on their vulnerable bodies.
The families expressed fear that they won’t be able to cook their food or keep the cold out of their homes this year due to fuel dearth, as a freezing winter season is about to unlock its gates.
The refugees have launched into a tirade against the malpractices of Lebanon’s burgeoning black oil market, fuel shortages, and—most of all—the exorbitant prices of wood and fuel charged by corrupt officials and traders.
