Hundreds of Palestinian refugees from Syria who have reached Brazil as they rummaged around for a safe shelter have gone through tough conditions.
The refugees have reportedly been denied access to the local labor market and the right to relief assistance, travel documents, and education. In the best of cases, a two-year visa is handed over to the refugees. Socio-cultural and linguistic discrepancies have made integration quite a difficult process for the Palestinians of Syria.
No official statistics have been released by the Palestinian Embassy in Brazil and the General Union of Palestinian institutions, among other concerned bodies, as regards the number of Palestinian refugees in Brazil.
According to data by the National Committee for Refugees in Brazil (CONARE), 1,794 refugees from Syria, including Palestinians, reached Brazil until the end of 2014.
