The Turkish Migration Department announced that certain neighborhoods are off-limits to new residents.
Exceptions are only to be made where necessary to facilitate family reunification. This includes children below 18 and newborns.
A few months earlier, the Turkish government announced that it will no longer give residency permits to non-citizens for new sign-ups in such provinces as Küçükçekmece, Başakşehir, Bağcılar, Avcılar, Bahçelievler, Sultangazi, Esenler and Zeytinburnu.
Türkiye hosts nearly 4 million refugees – more than any other country in the world. After the Syrian conflict broke out in 2011, Türkiye adopted an "open-door policy" for people fleeing the conflict, granting them "temporary protection" status.
Unofficial statistics indicate that 10,000 Palestinians from Syria have sought shelter in Turkey, where they have been facing dire socio-economic conditions and denied access to the local labor market.
Turkish embassies continue to prevent Palestinian refugees from Syria from obtaining visas. As a result, hundreds of Palestinians have embarked on life-threatening journeys via illegal immigration roads to reach Turkey, fleeing war-tattered Syria, among other war-stricken zones.
