A research paper was released by AGPS as part of the Forum of Palestinians in Europe and the Nation’s Causes held in Berlin on Sunday, September 23, under the slogan “We Will Not Give up Our Right of Return”.
The paper tackled the calamitous situation of the Palestinians of Syria inflicted by the blockade, arbitrary arrests, forced displacement, and heavy shelling.
AGPS also underscored the abject conditions endured by Palestinian refugees north of Syria after they were forced out of their shelters and transferred to over-crammed and poorly equipped camps.
Briefing the audience on the dire situation of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, AGPS slammed the calls recently launched by the Palestine Embassy and the popular committees affiliated with the Palestine Liberation Organization urging Palestinian refugees to return to Syria and vowing to grant returnees a sum of $1,000 per every single family, as pledged by the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
AGPS work paper warned of the absence of serious arrangement and coordination with the Syrian authorities, UNRWA, and other concerned bodies as regards the return of Palestinian families to their homes. Returnees risk being arrested, displaced, or forcibly recruited by pro-government battalions.
The paper also referred to the number of Palestinians from Syria who have reached Europe since the outbreak of the conflict in Syria in 2011.
