Palestinian activists have appealed for assistance to identify any information about three Palestinian refugees; two women and a girl, who left Libya on 16/01/2018 heading to Italy in a “death boat.” Communication with them has been lost since then.
According to the activists, the missing refugees are; “Maysaa Jihad Bakkar,” a Palestinian-Syrian born on 7-7-1978, and holder of a special travel document for Palestinian refugees, “Hanaa Jihad Bakkar,” a Palestinian-Lebanese refugee born in 1977 and her 10-year-old daughter, “Narees Abd Al-Raouf Abu Sedu.”
The activists quoted the response of the Palestinian ambassador in Italy, Dr. Mai Al-Kila, after contacting her to find out information about the three refugees. “We have sent a letter, in particular, to the competent authorities, and they have not answered us yet. The brother responsible of this case has also communicated with the special points on the Island of Sicily, who reported their absence. We are still waiting for the responsible authorities to respond to us in a written form to give you the final answer. This is the existing bureaucracy here and we can not change it.”
According to the reports received by the Group, the families of the missing contacted the Palestinian embassy in Libya and the reply was that they were not there.
The activists appealed to all people and parties to publish the photos, as they may help them reach any information about the missing refugees.
