A number of Palestinian Syrian families, who are stranded at the Turkish border, are complaining of great suffering. A refugee from Al Aedein camp in Homs described their living conditions as miserable, as they suffer of dire psychological status.
Some families reside at the smuggler's house for more than 20 days; in some cases, one house is home to a number of families, as they tried several times to cross but that did not work for the spread of the Turkish army and especially on the Syrian border. Moreover, they are anxious about the process of smuggling to the Turkish territory and the fear of being targeted by members of the Turkish army.
One of the stranded refugees at the border, from Al Aedein camp, said that they no longer can return to their camps and compounds due to the checkpoints of the Syrian security along their way back, as well as those checkpoints know that those families and inpiduals are heading towards Turkish territory, which it considers by those members as a treason.
Activists and some inpiduals confirm that a number of Palestinian refugees and young people were arrested during their return to their homes, knowing that most checkpoints of the Syrian security arrest every Palestinian refugee on its way to the armed opposition controlled areas in northern Syria, with the exception of being bribed by smuggling groups which is coordinating its work in collaboration with members of the Syrian security checkpoints, which in turn secure the roads towards areas outside the control of the Syrian regime.
Arrests forced most of the Palestinian families to remain on the border, and bear kinds of torment so that they can access to the Turkish territory.
Turkey had made earlier watchtowers described as smart towers, where it monitors any moving object approaching the Turkish-Syrian border; in addition, those towers launch warnings in Turkish, English, and Arabic languages for every moving object approaching 300 meters from the border.
The AGPS has documented a number of Palestinian refugees who died by the Turkish fires-Gendarmerie- while trying to cross from the Syrian lands to the Turkish Territories.
