The Palestinian-Syrian infant “Celine Aziz,” died in Qassab Hospital, in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon, on January 19th 2018. Celine was diagnosed with pneumonia and her parents could not afford the expenses of her treatment, despite appealing to a number of relief charities, UNRWA, civil society organizations, factions and the Palestine Liberation Organization.
On their part, Celine’s parents held all the concerned parties, especially the Palestinian factions, accountable for the death of their daughter, stressing that they had contacted a number of relief charities and national labor committees, which claim to be interested in the affairs of the Palestinian-Syrians in Lebanon. According to them, they did not find any response but procrastination and delays, under the pretext of the routine.
The Palestinian-Syrian families displaced to Lebanon have nothing to do but to launch appeals and call out to international organizations, the International Red Cross, the PLO, Palestinian factions and conscientious persons, to assist them and cover their extremely expensive hospitalization bills in Lebanon, which they are unable to pay due to the deterioration of their economic and living conditions.
Hospitalization is one of the major obstacles and problems faced by the displaced Palestinian-Syrians and Syrians in Lebanon. The suffering from the lack of large hospitalization equipment continues, especially after the weak activities of the local organizations and bodies, as a result of the ongoing war in Syria.
