Dozens of Palestinian refugees from Syria who have recently reached Istanbul appealed to the human rights institutions, the PLO, and the Palestine Embassy to rally round them.
The families, made up of 50 persons, said they arrived in Turkey a couple of months ago, from northern Aleppo, after they were forced out of southern Damascus following the reconciliation deals struck between the opposition outfits and the Syrian and Russian war partners. At least 5,000 persons, among them women and children, were deported as a result.
The displaced families sounded the alarm over the exorbitant prices and lack of access to the local labor market, saying the small amount of money they brought from Syria has run out.
Palestinian refugees from Syria in Turkey have been enduring a calamitous situation due to the absence of relief aids by such UN bodies as UNRWA and the UNHCR. The families have been receiving sporadic aids from a handful of Turkish and Syrian charities, including the Turkish Association for Solidarity with Palestine (FIDAR).
