Over 70 Palestinian refugees reached European destinations after they fled war-torn Syria over the last couple of weeks.
Most of the refugees reached Europe by land through Greece, Turkey, and Serbia.
The refugees often land in Austria following coordination with smugglers in a trip that costs between €1800 and €2200.
Many refugees headed for the Netherlands and Germany after paying an additional sum of up to €1000 while scores of others have remained in Austria due to money dearth.
Sweden and Denmark are no longer considered by the Palestinians of Syria longed-for destinations due to complicated asylum procedures and closed-door migration policy.
Poverty rates have reached a zenith in Palestinian refugee camps in Syria due to the sharp decrease in the exchange rate of the Syrian pound compared to the USD and the refugees’ lack of access to the local labor market.
Protracted displacement, deteriorating socio-economic conditions aggravated by the consequences of the conflict, dire humanitarian needs and protection concerns continue to affect the lives of Palestine refugees in Syria.
