Representatives of the Palestinian refugee community from Syria (PRS) in Egypt showed up at the headquarters of the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC).
The PRS delegation briefed ERC’s General-Director Rami AlNader on the abject humanitarian situation endured by Palestinian refugees in Cairo.
AlNader pledged to do his best to enhance PRS’s access to healthcare services, including at Mahmoud Clinic, and urge UNRWA to increase their cash grants for PRS.
PRS in Egypt continue to rail against the apathy maintained by UNRWA and the Palestine Embassy regarding their appeals for humanitarian, legal, and socio-economic protection.
Palestinian refugees who fled war-torn Syria have been subjected to a volatile legal status in Egypt, where they are treated as foreigners rather than asylum-seekers fleeing war-stricken zones. Palestinians from Syria have also been denied the right to legal visas, refugee documents, safe accommodation, basic services, relief assistance, free movement, and access to education and labor, among other basic necessities.
AGPS continues to stress the need to secure the rights of the Palestinians from Syria in Egypt as per the Refugee Convention of 1951, and to hand them over cash and in-kind aid, along with refugee cards, in order to enhance their legal status in the Egyptian territories.
