The needs of Palestinian refugees in Syria should be taken into consideration during the donor conference being held in London, Palestinian rights groups said yesterday.
In a memorandum which was sent to the Supporting Syria and the Region conference, the Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) and the Action Group for Palestinians of Syria in London demanded the issue of Palestinians in Syria be included in the funding and relief programmes that the conference will adopt.
The memorandum outlined the humanitarian, living and legal conditions of Syria’s Palestinians at home and in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey, and provided extensive statistics on the numbers of displaced persons and their distribution in neighbouring countries as a result of the ongoing war.
PRC stressed the importance of treating refugees in accordance with international law, and the need to secure their living conditions and humanitarian needs so as to ensure they have a decent life until they return to their homes in Palestine.
British Prime Minister David Cameron hosted the conference in London, and it was attended by the leaders of 70 countries and representatives of the United Nations and the European Union.
