A documentary report, which was issued by the AGPS last week, titled as “Palestinians of Syria the Wound is still Bleeding”, monitored a number of prominent difficulties that face the new Palestinians of Syria refugees in Europe where the report summarized those difficulties as follows:
- Forcing the refugee to leave his/her fingerprint in Italy, Unfortunately, many Palestinians of Syria refugees are forced to leave their fingerprints in Italy, which prevents them from seeking asylum in other European countries, with the exception of some German states, which may neglect those footprints. The Agreement of Dublin Convention will be applied on the refugees who leave their fingerprint in Italy, the agreement insures that the refugee should be returned to the first country that he/she had his/her fingerprint in.
- Long waiting periods that are spent by many refugees for waiting their residencies, where sometimes the waiting reaches more than one year.
- The delayed of family reunion, where in some countries it takes a period of up to more than a year and a half, making the refugees and their families on edge of a bad situation, especially in the case the availability of most of the families in dangerous areas, In addition to the economic burdens as a result of the delay of reunion.
- The difficulty of the refugees’ families access in Syria to the European embassies in Lebanon or in Turkey, due to the prevention of their entry to Turkey and the strict procedures of Lebanon.
- The absence of a representative and clear side to represent them, follow up their problems and introducing the community that they live in after leaving their camps.Â
- The difficulty of languages and getting homes due to the huge number of immigrants to the European countries.
- The high cost of transportations and poor communications between the Palestinians of Syria refugees due to the long distances.
- It is referred that the AGPS indicated, in the same report, that the number of Palestinians of Syria refugees who have arrived in Europe has exceeded “27” thousand refugees.
