Palestinians of Syria who fled the hell of war in Syria resorted to Brazil, for ease of obtaining a visa from any Brazilian embassy in the countries of the world, and facilitated procedures, in addition to the low cost of travel ticket, and for being a gateway station on the road to immigration to Europe.
Most of them lived in several Brazilian cities, including the city of Sao Paulo, but they have faced numerous economic and living crises, including the failure of Brazilian government to provide any features or relief or material assistance for refugees; such as the travel visa, housing, employment, vocational training and language classes, but gives them a temporary residence card for two years.
The refugees complain of difficulty in integrating the Brazilian community because of the differences in customs and traditions, as well as with the high cost of housing prices, and the lack of good material income.
There are no numbers or statistics documented for the number of Palestinian Syrian refugees in Brazil, in spite of the existence of the Palestinian Embassy and the General Union of Palestinian institutions, but the National Commission for Assistance Refugees.
