Palestinian refugee from Syria Fahd Odeh and his wife and children were deported from Amman to Malaysia after the latter accepted to let them in.
A few days earlier, India deported the four-member Palestinian family to Jordan. The Jordanian authorities expelled the family to Oman.
Palestinian activists and asylum-seekers have rallied round the family and facilitated their flight to Malaysia.
Fahd left Syria before 2010 to pursue his studies, before he got married. He stayed in India fleeing the war in Syria. He could not renew his visa in India.
Fahd obtained a Palestinian passport from the Palestine Embassy after his Syrian travel document expired. He was later deported to Jordan, where he had been detained at the Queen Alia International Airport in Amman. His wife, a holder of a foreign passport, refused to stay in Jordan after the Jordanian authorities green-lighted her entry.
Fahd was also detained in Oman, to which he was deported from Jordan. He has gone homeless as India forced him back and, later, refused to let him in.
Thousands of Palestinian refugees fled their refugee camps in war-torn Syria and have sought asylum in neighboring countries. Thousands headed for Europe, risking their lives onboard the so-called “death boats” as they rummaged around for safe shelters.
