In a report issued on the Fourth Anniversary of the Chemical Attack Massacre, perpetrated on August 21, 2013 in Rif Dimashq, AGPS said the Palestinian refugee community has not been safe from the onslaughts launched by the Syrian regime army using internationally prohibited weapons, namely napalm, cluster grenades, and barrel bombs.
August 21 is a reminder of the offensive rocking Zamalqa and AlMu’dhamiya, in Rif Dimashq, and which took away the lives of hundreds of civilians, among them 36 Palestinians, due to heavy inhalation of toxic gas. Heavy material damage was also inflicted on Palestinian refugee camps and shelters, along with UNRWA facilities.
AGPS continues to call on all warring actors in Syria to abide by their obligations under international law and protect civilians during armed conflicts.
AGPS urges the international community and UNRWA to live up to their duties as regards the situation in war-ravaged Syria and to work on providing Palestinian refugees with physical and legal protection.
