The war in Syria has divided most of the Palestinian refugee families in Syria. Barely a single Palestinian family has been set free from the displacement and dispersion of most of its members, around the world, in addition to the homelessness and displacement within the Syrian cities and towns.
The statistics reveal that Palestinian-Syrians are distributed across the following countries: Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Libya, Sudan, Thailand, Malaysia, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, Finland, Switzerland and France, as well as Brazil, Chile, Canada and other countries.
According to UNRWA’s most recent statistics, about 140,000 Palestinian refugees have been displaced from Syria because of the war.
It should be noted that the arrival of refugees to these countries was not systematic, since all of the countries close their doors in the face of the Palestinian-Syrian refugees. This has forced them to refer to illegal immigration, using land and sea smuggling routes, and putting their lives at risk to escape the war which has targeted their camps in Syria.
