In the Republic of Egypt, the Palestinian-Syrian refugees who were displaced there because of the ongoing war in Syria, confirmed that the Egyptian authorities refused to provide them with residency, despite their presence in Egypt for several years. The authorities refuse to take responsibility for the issuance of residency grants, regardless of the fact that Palestinian refugees have met all the residency requirements needed in Egypt.
This comes at a time where 6000 Palestinian refugees fled to Egypt to escape the war in Syria and are facing economic difficulties. Many are struggling to secure jobs due to the poor economic condition in Egypt and the inability of refugees to apply to jobs because they are non-residents.
Palestinian-Syrians in Egypt are also complaining of the lack of official representation of them. A number of refugees told AGPS that the Palestinian embassy in Cairo, the Palestine Liberation Organization and the international organizations are not doing enough to solve their living and legal difficulties.
