Palestinian refugees with Syrian travel documents continue to face a bleak future due to their ambivalent legal status and the inhospitality shown by authorities in host countries.
Palestinian refugees from Syria are reported to lack legal status in Lebanon. The absence of specific legislation addressing the unique situation of the Palestinians of Syria has made them vulnerable to marginalization within the Lebanese polity, both as inpiduals and as a community.
Besides, Palestinian refugees from Syria in Lebanon are treated as foreigners rather than as refugees and are, thus, denied the right to renewed stays and subjected to forced deportation.
The situation has not been less ambivalent in Turkey, where Palestinian refugees from Syria are denied the right to legal visas and access to the local labor market.
