A report on the situation of Palestinian refugees in war-torn Syria was submitted by the Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) at the UN Human Rights Council, bringing a fruitful participation in the council’s 38th session to a close.
The report, entitled “Yarmouk: Destruction under the Guise of Liberation”, spotlights the disastrous fallouts of the military offensive launched by the Syrian government forces and its war allies against Yarmouk Camp since mid-April 2018.
The report highlights the damage wrought on infrastructure and civilian homes, along with the forced deportation of residents prior to the conclusion of an agreement stipulating the retreat of armed militias and thousands of Palestinian civilians toward northern Syria.
The report, the by-product of joint efforts by PRC and AGPS, underscores violations by ISIS outfits against Yarmouk residents and the longer-term aftermaths of the massive destruction inflicted on the camp, which remains an enduring symbol of the Palestine Refugee diaspora and of the extreme human costs of the devastating conflict in the country.
Two other reports on the situation of Palestinian refugees in Gaza and Jordan were also put forth, in move that dovetails PRC’s endeavors to disseminate the Palestinian version, deconstruct biased pro-Israel media coverage, and to push UN bodies to enforce international law.
The reports will be roped in the United Nations’ archive of official documents, which can be received electronically through the UN Official Document System search. UN documents can be accessed by keywords.
PRC has just concluded its active participation in the 38th session of the UNHRC held from June 18 to July 6 in Geneva.
