Faour confirmed that she documented many abuses committed against refugees when they were in Greece, including the Greek police attack in mid-July against female Palestinian Syrian refugees, as the police beat and shot down to the ground amid howling and crying of children and women. The attack came after a group of women tried to address the Greek police to speed up asylum procedures. She also referred to the spread of racial discrimination phenomenon and corruption among the Greek police.
In terms of medical aspect, Amal directed many appeals through the AGPS, demanding all international and humanitarian organizations, the International Red Cross, and the Palestinian embassy in Greece to intervene and provide emergency medical assistance to hundreds of patients who were not provided with treatment.

Children are the worst luck where vaccines are completely not available, while refugees obtain very few quantities of baby milk, forcing them shorten children's meals so that milk stays for a longer period.
Food provided for refugees is very low and lacks to necessary nutrients; it is limited and does not contain any meat.
Amal describes the impossible conditions that are requires to get a low and simple medical services, “Hospitals require the police approval, then they ask for the so-called Khartih, a private papers asylum, and then they ask for asylum card, social security and health insurance. All these complex procedures take long meaningless time.
It should be noted that hundreds of Palestinian Syrian refugees stranded in Greece, suffer from very harsh living conditions, and the lack of hygiene and basic services in their whereabouts, as most of houses are temporary housing or tents, given the large spread of insects and poisonous reptiles such as scorpions and snakes.
