Meanwhile, Executive Director of the London-based Palestinian Return Center (PRC), Tariq Hamoud, said the deportation of refugees has not been the first one of its kind in beleaguered Syria as residents of Yarmouk Camp had already been subjected to a similar forcible-transfer process. Only 2500, out of 222,000 who used to take shelter in Yarmouk, remained in the camp. At the same time, all the residents of Al-Sbiena Camp have gone dispossessed due to the unabated onslaughts.
Hamoud dubbed the move “a preplanned deportation scheme” weaved against Palestinian refugees everywhere across the globe.
He referred to similar schemes of ethnic cleansing perpetrated against the Palestinian residents of Deraa and Handarat camps.
PRC Executive Director leveled heavy criticism at the Palestinian and international human rights institutions for their apathy as regards the crisis.
“Those who have stood their ground in the camp despite the onslaughts and the blockade have fallen prey to a deal struck behind closed doors,” said Hamoud. “Those who have chosen to remain in the camp will have to endure bloodshed, abductions, and bombardment, as the government forces have already threatened.”
He further warned that the displacement of refugees from the camp to the northernmost Syrian edges of Idlib is a barefaced indication of underway attempts to prompt a mass influx to Turkey and Europe so as to enforce ethnic cleansing tactics.
Since the outburst of hostilities in Syria in 2011, residents of Khan Al-Sheih Camp have been made to endure one of the most tragic states of affairs mankind has ever witnessed. Bombardment, abductions, murders, the blockade, travel bans, forced dislocation, medical neglect, and torture have all been daily occurrences for Khan Al-Sheih’s displaced community.
Only 12,000 refugees, out of 30,000 initially taking shelter in the camp, have remained in Khan Al-Sheih due to war-related incidents.
