Palestinian refugees in Lebanon have called on UNRWA to take urgent action in response to the mistreatment they have reportedly been subjected to by the staff members of Bank MED.
The refugees denounced the reluctance maintained by the Bank regarding their appeals to retrieve their credits following a technical problem in the bank’s ATM cards.
Last week, Palestinian refugees from Syria in Lebanon said they have been unable to withdraw financial aid disbursed by UNRWA from local banks due to technical problems. A number of refugees said their ATM cards were automatically rejected.
UNRWA continues to transfer cash aids for the Palestinians of Syria in Lebanon via ATM cards. Every Palestinian family from Syria receives a rental allowance of 150,000 Lebanese pounds and a food allowance worth 40,000 LP per every refugee.
Nearly 28,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria seeking shelter in Lebanon have been subjected to dire socio-economic conditions and a precarious legal status as the Lebanese authorities continue to rebuff their appeals for legal visas and access to the local labor market.
