Statistics prepared by the Union of Islamic relief organizations revealed that the number of Palestinian families displaced from Syria to Ein El-Hilweh camp of Sidon, southern Lebanon reached about 870 families, according to recent statistics conducted by the Union.
AGPS' correspondent at Ein el-Hilweh camp, assured that the number of PS families has dropped sharply, noting that the number of families that were living in the camp in 2014 reached 2,500 families, fell in 2015 to 1400 family, 2016 to 870 families.
The correspondent said that the reason for this decrease in numbers is the tension situation in Ein el-Hilweh camp and the desire to leave camps in Lebanon to claim asylum in Western European countries, while some of them preferred going back where they came from.
