A vigil was staged by the Association of Displaced Palestinians from Syria in Lebanon outside of the office of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
Refugees and activists railed against the deteriorating humanitarian conditions endured by Palestinian refugees who fled war-torn Syria to Lebanon.
The Association handed over a memorandum urging the Agency to deliver much-needed aids due to the calamitous situation they have been going through in the tension-stricken Lebanese territories.
The protesters further called on UNRWA to adopt an emergency strategy in order to work out the crises endured by PRS.
The Association said it has reached out to donor parties, including Qatar, Austria, and the EU Trust Fund, among others, in order to mobilize financial support for the Palestinians of Syria.
Nearly 28,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria have sought shelter in Lebanon, where they have been subjected to a precarious legal status and dire socio-economic conditions owing to their lack of access to vital services, the absence of relief assistance, and denial of access to the local labor market.
