Speaking with Al-Resla Net, head of AGPS Studies Department Ibrahim Al-Ali said the Palestinians of Syria have been subjected to a preplanned scheme of forced deportation in the raging warfare.
According to Al-Ali, 150,000 Palestinian refugees, out of a total of 650,000 refugees, fled war-torn Syria.
He added that 430,000 Palestinians sheltered in Syria are in need of urgent aids.
He said the first case of mass deportation appeared in Yarmouk Camp, where only 2,500 refugees have remained, compared to 220,000 civilians initially taking refuge in the camp. Sbiena and Handarat camps have been evacuated of all their residents. Hundreds of refugees are meanwhile, being forced out of Khan Al-Sheih.
Al-Ali said Palestinian refugees have been dragged into the raging hostilities despite their attempts to keep a distance from all warring actors.
Several refugee camps, namely Yarmouk and Handarat have become flashpoints and hotbeds for deadly fighting between the different warring parties, Al-Ali further stated.
AGPS staff member expressed his disappointment over the silence maintained by the Ramallah-headquarted Palestinian Authority (PA), chaired by Mahmoud Abbas, and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) regarding the calamitous situation in Khan Al-Sheih, which has been targeted with deadly offensives launched by the Syrian and Russian war abettors for over 60 days.
