About 1000 Palestinian-Syrians living in the Gaza Strip are facing extremely harsh living difficulties, after fleeing the war in Syria. They are suffering from miserable economic conditions, in addition to their inability to secure housing and work, because of the catastrophic conditions of the Gaza Strip caused by the Israeli occupation. The families complained of what they described as the obvious shortcomings in dealing with their suffering, by UNRWA, the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian factions.
While the pessimistic atmosphere spread among the Palestinian refugees who fled from Syria to Gaza, after the news of UNRWA’s intention to cut its cash assistance that it used to provide as housing allowance for the Palestinian-Syrians in Gaza, which will negatively affect those families who are already suffering from accumulated crises and tragic living conditions, resulting from the siege and the lack of recognition of refugees by the Palestinian Authority, which did not apply its resolutions and promises regarding the refugees, as well as the inability of the refugees to travel abroad, because they do not have a national number.
On its part, The Joint Coordinating Commission for The Arab Countries Refugees Coming from Syria, Lebanon and Yemen in the region, called on applying the decision of the Council of Ministers issued on 5-4-2016, number 17/97/10 M.O/R.J fro 2016, which rules of the provision of assistance to the families of expatriates from Arab countries to the southern provinces, providing health insurance for families that are not insured and providing job opportunities for those who are able to work and discussing the possibility of providing income-generating projects and housing, in coordination with the Ministry of Public Works and Housing.
In the light of the Palestinian reconciliation, the Authority sent a letter to the Palestinian Prime Minister, Ramy Al-Hamdallah, demanding the implementation of the Council of Ministers' decision, in order to live with a decent, minimum standard of living, according to its description.
The Gaza Strip is witnessing a serious deterioration in the basic services, where 80% of its residents are in need of urgent relief assistance.
