The Palestinian-Syrian refugees are complaining from the negligence, marginalization and dereliction of UNRWA and the Palestinian factions towards them. The Palestinian factions’ interest towards their suffering has declined significantly over the past two years. The refugees stressed that the Palestinian factions’ relationships were not invested by a number of local and regional parties, that could alleviate their plight.
According to the Palestinian refugees’ testimonies who contacted the Action Group, UNRWA neglected its duty of providing aid to all the Palestinian-Syrians present in the areas under the Syrian opposition factions’ control, under the pretext that the areas are not safe and that it has stopped all its facilities in Deraa for the same reason. UNRWA has also stopped providing its services to the Palestinian-Syrians in north Syria, under the same pretext.
In Egypt, Libya and Turkey, the Palestinian-Syrian refugees there confirm that UNRWA has prevented its aid to them, under the pretext that they are in areas which lie beyond the five regions it works in.
On their part, Palestinian activists believe that the dereliction towards the Palestinian refugees is not limited to UNRWA only, however it also includes the Palestine Liberation Organization and the embassies of the Palestinian authority which do not perform their duties towards the Palestinian Syrians, especially regarding their legal status in a number of countries.
