Activists urged the Turkish government to take all measures necessary to improve the living conditions endured by Palestinian families from Syria in shelters and refugee camps set up in Turkey.
The activists said families held in the so-called “Krit Gendarme-Central” shelter have been grappling with tough conditions due to daily mistreatment and crackdowns.
According to the same source, life in the aforementioned shelter is similar to life in prison, where the refugees’ movement is blocked inside and out and mobile phones seized. Public phones are allowed only once a day.
Children and women have also been separated from their fathers and husbands in the shelter. Several of those who have been sick or caught diseases in the center have been left without treatment.
The activists called on the Turkish authorities to treat Palestinian refugees fleeing war-torn Syria as Syrian asylum-seekers and to immediately cease their double-standard measures.
Syrians caught in the Turkish territories are immediately sent back to where they came from while Palestinian refugees get locked up in remote shelters.
The activists urged the Turkish authorities to work on improving the refugees’ living conditions and grant them safe shelters in Turkey, for which they headed following a journey fraught with danger, fleeing the embattled Syrian territories.
