Palestinian refugees Mohamed and Ali Ashami have been detained by Turkish police in Esenler district, on Istanbul’s European side, after they failed to obtain the temporary protection card known as “kimlik”.
The two brothers, who were displaced from Syria’s Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Damascus, have called for urgent action by the international humanitarian and human rights institutions in order to pressurize the Turkish authorities to work out their legal status and grant them humanitarian asylum.
Nearly 2,400 Palestinian families from Syria have sought shelter in Turkey, including 1,200 families in Istanbul, where they have been facing an abject situation.
Khayra Ummah organization estimated that 400 Palestinian families from Syria without kimlik visas have been taking refuge in Turkey, including 300 families in Istanbul.
