Working Group | London- Press Release
The Working Group for Palestinians in Syria strongly condemns the severe deterioration in the humanitarian conditions of Palestinian refugees in Syria and the Palestinian displaced from Syria to Lebanon, and issues an urgent call to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to expedite the distribution of its emergency cash assistance to this vulnerable group.
In Lebanon, Palestinians who fled the Syrian war are suffering from a severe humanitarian crisis that is worsening day by day due to the ongoing Israeli aggression on camps and cities, which has displaced hundreds of thousands. They live in extremely difficult conditions characterized by extreme poverty, lack of financial resources, and widespread unemployment.
In Syria, the suffering of Palestinian refugees is exacerbated by the economic crises sweeping the region, and the continued displacement of hundreds of thousands of them. They live in extreme poverty and need, just like in Lebanon, having lost their financial resources, their food security has vanished, and unemployment has spread among them.
The cash assistance provided by UNRWA is a lifeline for thousands of Palestinian families in Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, enabling them to meet a significant portion of their basic needs. However, the scale of this assistance remains insufficient and does not meet the increasing demands.
Accordingly, The Working Group demands UNRWA:
• Disbursing cash assistance urgently and ensuring it reaches all eligible recipients.
Increasing the amount of cash assistance to cover their basic needs and help them endure.
Expanding the scope of cash assistance beneficiaries to include all Palestinian refugees.
Providing greater protection for Palestinians and ensuring their rights to receive humanitarian aid.
The Working Group emphasizes the necessity of concerted international and local efforts to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian refugees in Syria and Lebanon. It urges the international community and humanitarian organizations to provide the necessary support to UNRWA to enable it to fulfill its humanitarian duties to the fullest extent, support Palestinian refugees, and ensure a dignified living.
