Several Palestinian families from Syria have been seeking refuge in Brazil, a country that has made it far easier and cheaper for refugees to enter.
Fleeing war-tattered Syria, Palestinian families from Syria have arrived in Brazil in the hunt for a safer sanctuary after all Arab States opted for a closed-door refugee policy.
Most of those who fled to Brazil have been housed in the southeastern metropolis of Sao Paulo.
Yet, Palestinians from Syria in Brazil have been bereaved of government aids and relief assistance. They are only granted a two-year provisional visa.
Palestinian families from Syria have also encountered difficulties in the integration process due to the socio-cultural and linguistic discrepancies.
Statistics as regards Palestinian refugees in Brazil lack the required precision despite the presence of the Palestinian Embassy and the General Union of Palestinian Institutions in Brazil.
According to the National Committee for Refugees in Brazil (CONARE), 1,794 refugees from Syria reached Brazil until the end of 2014, without specifying their nationalities.
