Over 17,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria in Jordan have been categorized as vulnerable due to their precarious legal status and exacerbated living conditions.
The majority of the Palestinians from Syria entered Jordan through irregular means as a result of the Jordanian closed-door immigration policy barring the refugees’ legal entry.
The refugees’ vulnerable legal status has reduced their access to the job market and increased the risk of refoulement.
Several Palestinians who fled Syria for fear of being killed under shelling and the blockade have been shorn of their right to legal stays and health care.
The swift price hike, steep rental fees, and daily crackdowns, along with the apathy maintained by the concerned international and Palestinian bodies as regards the crisis, have added insult to the injury.
