Syrian President Bashar AlAssad issued a decree ruling that Palestinian children under the age of 15 be treated equally to Syrian children in terms of their access to bread and other subsidized food items through the smart card.
The General Authority for Palestinian Arab Refugees (GAPAR) called on concerned refugee families to show up at its offices in Syria to be able to obtain smart cards for children.
Over recent years, children aged below 15 have been barred from smart cards used by the Syrian government to ration bread and a wider range of subsidized goods, namely fuel, rice, tea, and sugar.
Several refugee families said they have not received sufficient quantities of bread and food items.
After more than twelve years of conflict, Palestine refugees continue to be one of the most vulnerable groups in Syria with immense humanitarian needs.
