Dozens of Palestinian-Syrian refugees organized a sit-in on Monday 22nd January, in front of UNRWA’s headquarters in Beirut, in response to a call made by the Association of Displaced Palestinians from Syria to Lebanon.
The protesters expressed their rejection to UNRWA’s latest decisions, which led to the reduction of health and educational services, especially the winter assistance.
The protesters also demanded in the note delivered to UNRWA’s administration, the payment of financial compensation to the Palestinians displaced from Syria to Lebanon and an immediate apology for the disrespect they received by UNRWA. They also demanded the formation of a joint committee including UNRWA and representatives of the displaced refugees, with the aim of coordinating and communicating, especially after the committees concerned with the Palestinian-Syrians’ affairs have been resolved, in addition to requesting the raising the shelter allowance for displaced families so that it comes into contact with the average rents in Lebanon of $250, as well as accelerating the return of the families deprived of material assistance as quickly as possible, without any obstacles.
In the conclusion of the note, the protesters assured that they will delay the escalation of their proceedings against UNRWA, if it does not respond to their demands, which they consider to be their rights.
