With the end of the year 2017, AGPS has documented the death of 3626 Palestinian-Syrian refugees, since the Syrian war began in 2011 and to the end of 2017.
The bombardments have led to the death of 1148 refugees, while 957 others died due to the fighting between the regime forces and the Syrian opposition groups. 475 refugees died due to torture in the prisons of the security branches and Syrian intelligence, including 35 female Palestinian refugees. In addition, 308 of them died from sniper shots and 201 died because of the shortage in food and medical services, mainly due to the siege imposed on Yarmouk camp. The remaining victims died due to various other reasons such as, explosions, summary executions and kidnapping.
Meanwhile, the number of Palestinian-Syrian detainees has exceeded 1644. All of them were forcibly hidden, amid a state of extreme secrecy about their place of detention or their fate.
The Action Group for Palestinians of Syria concludes the year 2017, with the issuance of its 1884th documentational report, which is published daily in both Arabic and English languages, to highlight the violations that the Palestinians in Syria are subjected to, due to the ongoing war. 365 reports have been published in 2017.
While the Studies and Special Reports Department in the Action Group issued dozens of special reports that dealt with the important issues related to the Palestinians of Syria. The most prominent of these were the mid-year documentational reports, which record all the details regarding the suffering of the Palestinian-Syrian refugees. The report is issued in cooperation with the Palestinian Return Center, periodically.
