Palestinians from Syria in Lebanon rallied outside the office of the UNRWA’s director of operations in Ein AlHilweh Camp, protesting underway attempts to dismantle the refugee agency.
Speaking during the rally, a number of activists and civil society representatives drew attention to the repercussions of UNRWA’s cuts of its relief services and called on the Palestinians to combine forces in the face of ongoing schemes to disband the agency and liquidate the refugees’ cause.
The rally-goers called on the UNRWA Commissioner to work on securing funds needed to boost basic services for Palestine refugees and protect the agency’s staff members in Lebanon.
31,000 Palestinians from Syria have been taking refuge in Lebanon, where they have been going through abject living conditions.
