The Action Group’s Monitoring and Documentation Team said that it documented the death of 227 Palestinian children, because of the war in Syria, out of the total number of Palestinian refugees who have died in Syria, which has reached 3690.
The Monitoring Team clarified that the death of the Palestinian and Syrian refugee children resulted from many reasons. The bombardments, snipers, fighting, the siege and the ‘death boats,’ are the most prominent causes of death.
The statistics indicate that 75 children died because of the strict siege imposed by the Syrian regime and the Popular Front Groups-General Command, on Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees in south Damascus.
The Documentation Team also noted that it recorded 25 detained children, of whom the Syrian regime continues to hide their fate, while the testimonies of the released detainees confirmed the presence of Palestinian infants in the arms of their mothers. The team added that it documented a number of deaths of Palestinian children due to torture inside the Syrian regime’s prisons.
The Action Group confirms that the ongoing war in Syria, negatively affected the psychological life of the Palestinian children, even on those who fled from Syria. Many of them suffer from depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder and fear, and others have had the images of the consequences on their families, the destruction of their homes and their immigration to another place, imprinted in their minds.
