Thousands of Palestinian families living in Syria are suffering of family fragmentation, who were dispersed across the world, which poses great economic, legal and psychological challenges. Most of the family members are pided between Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Europe.
This dispersion led to the separation of the head of household from his family, either to travel in search of a safe place for their families, or that the siege prevented them from leaving the camps to join their families. This compounded the economic requirements of the family, in addition to the fact that many countries are asking the children's guardian to complete certain transactions related to them.
This fragmentation was compounded by the reluctance of most embassies to grant Syrian Palestinian refugees visas to enter their territory, which prevented many refugees from meeting their mothers, fathers and children, especially those in Europe, Lebanon and Turkey.
Thousands of Palestinian-Syrians in Europe have been waiting for reunification with their families for almost three years. It takes about one year to get a residence permit, while reunion takes about two years.Throughout this period, most embassies in countries where refugee families reside refuse to grant visas to their families, which prevents family reunions until they are reunited.
In addition, the families of Lebanon, Turkey and Egypt have had difficulty meeting the embassies of these countries, which have stopped granting visas to Palestinian-Syrian refugees more than three years ago, which also prevented them from meeting their families.
This is also true of the families that are scattered between Syria and the rest of the world. Most of the refugees who have been forced to leave Syria fear that they will return to Syria for fear of arrest, especially the youth.
