UNRWA has imposed conditions described as difficult on the Palestinian refugees in Syria, to order to update their information and receive the Agency’s assistance.
UNRWA asked the refugees to bring an original contract of house ownership or lease, identification card issued by the Syrian government, valid hosting record, security approval for housing, a recent residency support and a recent telephone bill on behalf of the holder, in order to conduct an audit on the inpidual data of the Palestinian refugees benefiting from the cash assistance and living in Syria, during the first cycle of food assistance distribution for 2018.
On its part, the General Authority for Palestine Arab Refugees in Syria called on UNRWA, in a statement received by the Action Group, to stop the process of updating the data, considering the details of the conditions unacceptable, and describing them as difficult and harsh.
In its statement, the Authority called on UNRWA for a bilateral meeting to discuss the details, procedures and implications of the process on the Palestinians, especially with the reduction of the United States’ aid from $362 million to $60 million.
This comes amid the harsh living and economic conditions the Palestinian refugees are experiencing in Syria, where most of the refugees have lost their jobs and houses due to the siege, bombardments and the military operations which targeted the camps and areas of presence.
